Success depends on your age and the type of tubal ligation that you had. A normal sperm count is also important. The length of time does not really impact the possibility of success of the surgical outcome, but the ultimate goal of a pregnancy may be less likely if you are much older.

Tubal reversal success depends on your current age, rather than on the
time from tubal ligation itself. You can see the actual pregnancy rates
for women after tubal reversal surgery according to age groups in the
Tubal Reversal Pregnancy Study Report 2009. You can find this by doing a
search on Google or Bing. Here is a link directly to the page:

I had the Hulka clips put on during a tubal ligation procedure when I was 24 years old. I am now 30 and my husband and I want another child. We are uncertain if my irregular periods are being caused by some of the Hulka clips coming off, or maybe the tube has grown around them. Is this likely and would either cause irregular periods? Also, would tubal reversal be a good option if we are considering having another child?
