Tubal ligation is considered a very effective form of birth control; however, it is not 100% effective for all women. Although very small, there is a 0.5% chance of pregnancy after tubal ligation, which means that less than 1 woman out of 200 will conceive.. This failure rate typically results from improperly performed procedures or a spontaneous regeneration of the fallopian tubes over time.
Warning signs include:
There’s still at least a 1% chance of getting pregnant after your tubes are tied. This risk then increases to about 1.8% after 10 years. It has also been noted that most pregnancies occurring after ligation are ectopic in nature, meaning that the pregnancy occurs at the fallopian tube instead of the uterus.
This test is easy to undergo, but may show a false-negative result, as the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone is low during an ectopic pregnancy. Regardless of results from the first method of testing, if a women experiences symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, an ultrasound is often recommended.

Tubal refers to the fallopian tubes. Each month, an egg is released from an ovary and travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus. Ligation means to tie off.
The risk of pregnancy in the 10 years after a tubal ligation is as follows: Women who are younger than 28 years old: 5 percent. Women between 28 and 33 years old: 2 percent. Women 34 years and older: 1 percent.

CPT® Code 59151 in section: Laparoscopic treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus. Almost all ectopic pregnancies—more than 90%—occur in a fallopian tube. As the pregnancy grows, it can cause the tube to burst (rupture). A rupture can cause major internal bleeding.
