So, who has gotten pregnant after having a tubal?

[nesser1981]

A week from today will be my 4 year anniversary of having my tubes tied and well, I took 2 pregnancy tests today and guess what, they were both positive.

I hadn't been feeling very good, my boobs were sore and my period should have shown up last week. Ugh!

And, I'm not saying anything on Facebook until I find out for sure on March 9th.

[LeeAndra]

Not me, but congrats!! :)

[Jennilyn]

Oh my Vanessa!! I thought I was pregnant a few times even though I had my tubal in 2005, but no positives. I've heard people get pregnant after them though and even when their partner has had a vasectomy as well!

Good luck to you and congratulations! http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e69/LuvMy2Ks/Smilies/bighuglz4.gif

[scrappurple]

Deep breath ... ;) Congrats! :D

[TeriBeary]

I'd say it's something that is meant to be. I hope it's an easy transition! Congrats!

[BrattyMeg]

it's a sign.....

congrats! :)

[kscwgirl]

Wow!!!! I'd say someone really wants you to have another baby!
Good luck hon and congrats.. let us know about your appointment!!

[emmasmommy]

wow v.

congrats! (? lol)

[nesser1981]

LOL! Is right!

Seriously I go from laughing to crying.

Yes, its meant to be I guess, I looked at a due date calculator and well Oct. 27ish is the estimate. I don't know exactly when my last period was. This is crazy!

[emmasmommy]

i'd be crying. hard. LOL
i would never even put 2 and 2 together though

[BrattyMeg]

I'd NEVER depend on a tubal 100% after a year or two...tubes can reconnect or reform as time goes on. I imagine the chances of pregnancy though are probably greater depending on how fertile you were beforehand. Did you get preg with K or C easily?

[nesser1981]

Keira took like 4 months.

I had 3 miscarriages before I got pregnant w/ Cooper, but it was pretty easy. When they found out I need progestorne to carry, I got pregnant w/ Cooper right away.

[BrattyMeg]

well def praying for good news :)

[kim21673]

O.M.G. This was definitely meant to be!!!

Congrats and best of luck!! I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months!!!

[kendallt]

Wow!!!! I'd say someone really wants you to have another baby!

Seriously! Congrats, Vanessa! Please keep us updated on your appointment. :)

[Julie Billingsley]

Wow Vanessa! wow! I pray this will be the best surprise you ever ever received! ((hugs))

[jessica31876]

Id probably die of shock LOL. I have had a few times where I missed a period and wondered what if but it never happened to me.

Congratulations to you though!! It was obviously meant to be :)

[terrab]

You must be so shocked! My sister in law got pregnant after her tubal and went through a whole range of emotions. Congratulations.

[MandaT]

Congrats.

I would definitely be crying, a lot, more than a lot. Crazy.

[mariewilcox]

Wow is right! Congrats once you get over the shock! :)

**I would also say that the water here at SSD is especially potent these days and I'm worried about an immaculate conception being possible! :w00t:

[heathergw]

oh wow!!! Praying your appointment goes well... what a shock to the system!!!

[Kara]

Wow!!! The water here is incredibly potent, I agree!

[nonnie]

WOW Hello!!!! I am super happy for you....

I do know that the chance of ectopic pregnancies are very high after a tubal so please be very careful and get evaluated right away! (common dinner conversation when one of your sisters is a midwife)

[breakingbrie]

Congrats!!! -What a surprise!

[Paula]

Wow Vanessa! Congratulations!

[lizzyfizzy]

oh my. huge hugs, V! i'm totally with the ladies, if it's a done deal, this baby was meant to be.

[Libby Pritchett]

OH my good glory - as someone who had a tubal last week during my c-section, this post scares the daylights out of me (esp since I got pg on the pill this time! LOL)

At any rate, babies are ALWAYS a blessing, so congrats!!!!!!!

[iScrap]

WOW Hello!!!! I am super happy for you....

I do know that the chance of ectopic pregnancies are very high after a tubal so please be very careful and get evaluated right away! (common dinner conversation when one of your sisters is a midwife)

This! And congrats? lol I would be up and down the emotional roller coaster, too. I hope you have a healthy pregnancy. {{hugs}}

[Tracie Stroud]

Oh my gosh Vanessa! Congrats!

[Megan Turnidge]

Wow!! Vanessa, I can only imagine all the thoughts and emotions running through you right now! Best of luck and hopefully everything works out perfectly! (and congrats...)

[jessica31876]

Oh and just an FYI my niece just found out she is pregnant...she had Mirena (sp?). She was shocked I am sure. It is her fourth child.

[hollyxann]

Well I'd say it's meant to be. But I would definitely get an appointment asap to have everything checked over.

Congrats!

Kennedy is a BC baby. Plus I had my odds stacked against me medically too.

[Melissa Bennett]

Congrats!! I can't imagine what a shock that must be. I do agree with some of the others, ectopic can be an issue here. If you start having any kind of pain please get seen right away.

[NatalieKW]

I'd NEVER depend on a tubal 100% after a year or two...tubes can reconnect or reform as time goes on. I imagine the chances of pregnancy though are probably greater depending on how fertile you were beforehand. Did you get preg with K or C easily?

Oh my. I guess some day I won't depend on this! I'm so fertile, I would so get pregnant. :blink:

[NatalieKW]

Oh and congrats, Vanessa!! (If you're ready to hear congrats...) It will be wonderful!

[julifish]

Vanessa - what a surprise! Hugs to you honey. It will be okay! Maybe it's just meant to be and this is a present. Maybe there is something else going on. Can't they get you in sooner?

I have to say that when I saw the post I immediately thought - who is trying to scare the crap out of Libby. LOL! Libby don't start worrying. Sometimes God intervenes.

[Jenn Barrette]

Hugs Vanessa! Keep us updated, and as others mentioned get in sooner if you can because of the risk of ectopic pregnancy.

[Lyd]

OH my good glory - as someone who had a tubal last week during my c-section, this post scares the daylights out of me (esp since I got pg on the pill this time! LOL)

At any rate, babies are ALWAYS a blessing, so congrats!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly since I had a tubal after Kaylin's birth. I really don't think my body or my psyche could handle another pregnancy. Another baby, yes. I think I could do that and be pretty happy about it - but not another pregnancy.

Hope everything goes well, V. Let us know!

[Shawna]

wow, congrats Vanessa!! I bet Keira & Cooper will be excited to have a new baby brother or sister though!

I do know that the chance of ectopic pregnancies are very high after a tubal so please be very careful and get evaluated right away!

I've heard this as well, so definitely be careful! In May it will have been 5yrs since my tubal and I'm not sure what my reaction would be if I got a positive test right now. Probably lots and lots of crying and Rob would probably be wanting to hunt down my OB/GYN to have some very strong words with her lol! Though when she did the procedure she said the way she does it there is absolutely no chance of things growing back together or getting it reversed or ever getting pregnant naturally without fertility help. I can't remember for sure how she explained it but she would only do the procedure if were like 150+% sure we were done having kids.

[webseitler]

OH my good glory - as someone who had a tubal last week during my c-section, this post scares the daylights out of me (esp since I got pg on the pill this time! LOL)

Holy cow, me too! I had a tubal at the end of Dec. for medical reasons (as in I shouldn't have any more little bebes.) So I hope in my case it stays fixed. :blink:

But if you are in a situation where you can have children more, then I guess it's a happy surprise! :) But what a shocker...

[NeverendingJen]

oh my! congrats!

[eranslow]

wowzers!! what a huge surprise for you guys!! what did hubby say? Bigs HUGS and Congrats!!

[Gemma]

What a surprise! Congrats! :)

[Sarah8914]

wow!!! That is exciting... and I'm sure a huge shock!

Are you doing okay?

[Giseli Freitas]

Wow! Congrats! Crying and laughing same time totally fits in the situation. ;)

[digideb]

Aw! I'm so excited for you, V! :)
One of my high school teachers had her tubes tied, her husband was snipped & she was on birth control for her periods. Yep, she got pregnant! LOL

[mummytothree]

:blink:

Wow V...what a shock!!! I'm sending you lots of prayers and good thoughts that you get the outcome your most wish!!! Keep us updated sweetie!!! :hugs:

[Aggie Aviso]

Oh wow! Totally unexpected but seriously - what a blessing!
Sending you positive vibes :)

[HeatherKS]

Oh my gosh! What a shocker! Lots of love and congratulations to you!

[Keely~B]

I'm sending you big hugs and good thoughts Vanessa.

[maryinaz]

Oh my! Congrats!! I would freak for about a minute, then be ecstatic...about 10 years ago. :)

[Jengerbread88]

Congratulations! Good luck- I'm praying SO hard for you!

[marlathrall]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my mom had a tuba after me and my two younger sisters. Ten years later, she was remarried to a wonderful man and they desperately wanted another baby. My sweet, lovable, precious sister Jamey cost my parents $20K when they had her tubal reversed. :) So you kinda saved yourself $20,000 right? lol.

Congrats and I hope you have an easy, stressfree pregnancy.

[LibbysMommy]

Oh my goodness V!! Congratulations!!! Hugs and lots of prayers for you!!

[lovely1m]

Oh, my! Congrats.

[LJSDesigns]

I can only echo every one else, wow. Some times the best gifts are the ones you weren't expecting. Congratulations and best wishes. :)

[scrap2day]

Congrats. Sending positive thoughts.

On another note: the water here is CRAZY!

[nesser1981]

I haven't been having any pain, but I will be on the lookout for anything like that.

We are going to Disney next week, leave on Monday, the VA couldn't get me in any sooner for a workup.

[kristijoy]

Oh my! That would be well....crazy! Sending you positive energy!!

[joelsgirl]

Dude, that's so crazy. I'm excited for you because sometimes unexpected blessings are the best kind, but seriously it took me a while to be excited for MY unexpected blessing...but I smile now every time I think about how happy I am to be pregnant again. I'll be praying for things to go smoothly, and I hope morning sickness doesn't ruin your trip!

[marnel]

It's been 4 years and 2 months and nothing, Yay for me.... I think I'd be upset but that's just me not mentally ready and all that jazz...

As the others have already said it's a blessing and I wish you the best, Congratulations..

[Coila]

Congratulations V!! Im so happy for your family <3

[nun69]

wow Vanessa....congrats

[rach3975]

Wow-I hope you're adjusting to the news and that everything goes smoothly! I know if it were me I'd eventually be excited, but I think it would take me longer than a few days to get there.

[CLAUDIO]

Oh my! Congratulations!
This is certainly meant to be!

[Amber Dixon]

congrats! :)

I had my tubal 5 yrs ago and have thought i was preggo a few times but never was.

[knlchevys]

Wow!!! Let us know how the dr goes!!

[cardinalskate]

Wow. Just wow. I can't imagine all the emotions you had to go through (and probably still are)! I hope you have an easy breezy pregnancy!

[neenee]

Wow V. I had a tubal about 12 years ago and I thought I was preggo once or twice and I REALLY wanted to be. I got the tubal when I was married to my ex. Then I met my wonderful DH and we so desperately wanted to have one together but no way we could afford $20K to get one. All worked out in the end though and I am happy now even though we never had one of our own. Laddy filled a huge void for me cuz I get to see him grow up with DH and then send him home. ;)
Anywho - I bet it is a huge shock but I agree with the others - I see it as a blessing and something that was meant to be. Can't wait to hear the final news after your dr. visit.

[KristinCB]

oh woww!!! (((HUGS))) congrats to you!!! <3 I'm sure this baby will be the biggest blessing to your family!

[sprauncey1]

Wowsers! I cannot even imagine the emotions right now! I knew it was "possible" but to "know" someone who had it happen is a completely different thing. This SSD water is strong! Hugs and prayers for you Vanessa as you deal with all this!

[ayaandjudah]

Well this is one "meant to be" baby!!!!!

Congrats!

[Zoe Pearn]

((HUGS)) Vanessa!!! I know it's probably a shock, but sometimes these things happen for a reason... I am so happy for you!! I can imagine the surprise though - LOL!

[lynnirene]

wow, well what a surprise!

My sister had a similar experience. She got an IUD right after she had her first child, and about 7 months after that, she found out she was 4 months pregnant with #2! (It took her that long to put the pieces together)

So even though things work 99% of the time, there's always that' 1% chance :)

[newfiemountiewife]

Wow V!!! Congratulations to you guys! I hope you are ok with everything, and I can only echo what everyone else said, in that it must be meant to be!

[lauren grier]

i'd die hahaha congrats v <3

[nesser1981]

i'd die hahaha congrats v <3

LOL! Thanks La. I'm starting to adjust to the idea, I think.

[Freckles]

Wow, I didn't know that was possible! Congrats!

[4noisyboys]

Oh Vanessa...I have chills. Seriously.

How exciting!! I hope you are feeling ok enough for Disney. Let us know right away when you know for sure!!! Eeeeekkk...I'm so happy for you!!

[Sherri Tierney]

Wow, congrats! I hadn't opened this thread previously because I have no experience with tubals. I'm glad to hear you are adjusting to the idea. :)

Hey... someone... pass me some water!!

[ryliesmom]

Congratulations!!!

[CA Dreamer]

Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Hope the shock wears off soon and you have a happy, healthy pregnancy!
