Answer
Hi Lynn,

Your chances of becomming pregnant are about 1% considering your had a tubal.

Your tubes are basically cut, tied, and burnt making it virtually impossible for egg to meet sperm, and it eliminates the possibility of tubal pregnancy as well.

I would definaltly see your doctor about this. Now its not absolutely impossible, but its EXTREMELY rare. So if you are pregnant, its basically a miracle, and your tubal was not done properly.

If you got a postive test result to your test, and are experiencing pregnancy related symptoms, its essential for you to see your doctor. Even though you have had a bleed, its abnormal to what you are accustomed to. Definately, make an appointment and have yourself evaluated to see whats going on with your cycle.

I would be very intrested in knowing how this turns out. Please let me know :)

Thanks for writing!
