Yes it is possible! I had it happen to me! The TL failure happened mid nursing school none the less:chuckle I had what is referred to as the pomeroy procedure where the fallopian tubes are, in my case post c-cection, cut sutured and cauterised. They even took out a cm or two of tube at that time. Essentially you are left with 2 segments of tube still connected to uterus and the distal ends in the vicinity of the ovaries. Apparently in my case one of the tubes somehow grew back together.This took place in 2002 and in the summer of 2007 I wasn't feeling well and thought the symptoms were pg symptoms. They were! In Feb of 2008 I delivered a beautiful baby girl with no compllications. My docs advised that if I didn't want anymore children I have the procedure repeated but I didnt want to shell out the additional bucks, and as I get older my fertility is declining anyway so I chose not to do that. But who knows, it could happen again look out for baby #5!
also, as pp have wisely said a pregnacy after TL is overwhelmingly usually a tubal pregnancy which is a medical emergency because of the risk of hemorage. I was 7 weeks when I discovered my pregnancy(I often have irregular cycles ) and I had to have an immediate ultrasound to confirm the location of the pg. So please be aware of this
