SUBJECT: IT CAN HAPPEN! pregnant after tubal ligation
I had a tubal ligation 8 years ago, after having two kids (boy & girl). But by the time my son was 4, my husband was cheating and we soon divorsed. Now I am married to a wonderful man who does not have any children but always said it was ok that I could not have any. I really regretted getting the tubal and prayed all the time that I would somehow get pregnant. I even thought of a serogate mother so my husband could have a child. My children are now 14 and 11 yrs old.
I missed 2 periods, odd, cause they used to be like start exactly every 28 days, like clockwork. I thought that I had a cyst, I've had them in the past. After missing my 3rd period I took a home pregnancy test (wal-mart cheapo, they detect more Hcg) it was positive. I went to hospitol because I thought there is no way, it had to be large cyst that had to be surgical removed, the kind that produces Hcg, or a tubal pregnancy. (I had myself so worried I couldn't sleep at night.)
They told me if home test was positive they are rarely wrong. They did blood test, positive! Then the ultrasound! I seen the baby!! And thats when I truly believed it! Everything is fine, the baby is where it's suppose to be! And the doctor said I have no higher risk of miscarriage because of the tubal ligation. My due date is August 14th!
To me this is truely a miracle and I will thank God everyday for the rest of my life for answering my prayers!
I just wanted to tell anyone with the same worries of getting or being pregnant after a tubal is - if you feel pregnant, go to the doctors!!!
I hopes this helps someone!
