1%

2% if within six months of delivery!

Do the test.

Oh and it depends a lot of the type of sterilisation, clips good, tube tying, not so good.

My mum had my sister after being sterilised.

She had her tubes clipped.

Test!

One of the mums at work is due in June - she'd had her tubes tied too! Do a test! xxx

my mother was sterilized in 1980, during the C-section to get me out. 13 years later she had twins (at 42!)

Please test immediately and if you have a positive result press your GP until you get a scan at an EPU asap.

Women who become pregnant after tubal sterilisation are at high risk of the pregnancy being ectopic.
