Even after tubal litigation it's possible to still get pregnant if the fallopian tubes grow back together or if another tube/path forms. It's somewhat rare (0.5% of women who have had the procedure could get pregnant again)

Isn't there a chance vasectomies don't take either?

It's a lot easier to double check in men.

It's almost 100% because "proper usage" includes periodic checks.

But the same thing can happen with vasectomies so why isn't it showing anything there?

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Vasectomies are a lot easier to double check. A woman released 1 egg a month. A man released a LOT of swimmers every shot. Go in a cup and check for swimmers.

Yeah sure but that's not what sterilisation means. To be sterile means you're not making any gametes whatsoever, which typically means a complete removal of the gonads (ie an oophrectomy or orchidectomy). Otherwise you're not sterile, you're just infertile.
