Given your age and the fact that you have had a tubal ligation your chance is very small much less than the 8:10000 risk of a tubal failure. Is it possible with IVF, yes but not advised based on the risk of chromosomal anomalies.

The fact that you have tied your tubes allows you to be confident that you will not get pregnant. Remember though, that the failure rate of a risk actually increases as time goes on. The fact that you are having a cycle only once every four months, greatly reduced this risk.

Less than 1 in 1000 patients with tubal ligation get pregnant. The most important thing for you to do is make sure you know exactly when your period has stopped for at least one year. Then if you bleed again you must be checked for endometrial cancer.

Women rarely get pregnant at age 50, but it does happen.

You have have little cause for worry since you have had a tubal ligation. You should not be concerned unless you have symptoms of pregnancy in which case you should get a pregnancy test.

While very few things are impossible, it is unlikely that you could get pregnant without fairly extensive infertility treatment.

The fact that you have had your tubes tied and you are considered advanced maternal age for a pregnancy it is most likely 100% that you would not be able to achieve conception.
