Medical Mystery???

The other day I was talking to an older friend and she said she had never felt better before she had her tubes tied and her hysterectomy. I said I thought it would stink to have your tubes tied then turn right around and have to have a hysterectomy and she said, "Oh, it wasn't that bad because they did it at the same time." I thought, "HUH" but said, "why" and she asked, "why not?" My response was that a tubal was to prevent pregnancy and if you had the hysterectomy there was no way you'd get pregnant and she said you could have a tubal pregnancy. Now, I know I was only a care partner but I am sure that is not possible. If anyone knows otherwise feel free to let me know!

Well Sherry I do not think that can happen however I had both done just not at the same time. LOL If I would have known I was going to have a hysterectomy I would have save the money on the tubes. LOL OH well I am for sure never to have any more children this way I guess. :-) I will keep watching this post to get the answer.

Good grief, I can't type tonight.
Yes, you can have a tubal pregancy after a partial hysterectomy (only the uterus removed). It is very rare though. :o)

Michelle, I heard it could happen that way but she said, "they took it all."
