Well, neither tube tying or vasectomies are entirely effective forever. A vasectomy has to be rechecked every 7 years to make sure it's holding, I suppose tube tying could be the same way. The body has ways of healing itself. I would say it's a hoax but on cnn, I think they at least check basics on this stuff.
I know a person who had to have 3 vasectomies - both failed attempts resulted in children (which is how they realized that the procedures had failed). The final one is assumed to have worked. Of course, this was like 30 some-odd years ago, and things have changed.
I've done a little researching online...vasectomies are a little more likely to come "undone" than tubals, but it depends on the way the tubal is done--"tying" the tubes vs. cauterizing the tubes. Obviously, cauterizing them is more effective. It seems like (from what I'm reading) that the failure rates increase over the first 10 years, then decline again (but I'm guessing that's b/c of increasing maternal age???) Given that she started having babies early, she certainly could be fertile into her 60s...
CNN is probably less likely to air a story without checking its facts. She does LOOK like she has a twin pregnancy from the pictures...
It still seems a bit fishy to me...but it definitely looks possible, the more I read about it. One way or the other, we should know in a month, right? :)
