What if I am sterilized but am having pregnancy symptoms? Could I be pregnant?

What if I am sterilized but am having pregnancy symptoms? Could I be pregnant?

Last modified on October 23, 2020

Sterilization is extremely effective and is intended to be permanent. Nevertheless, about 5 of every 1,000 women become pregnant within a year after the procedure, and that small risk remains until menopause.
Get a pregnancy test if you are worried that you may be pregnant.
