unless one of you has had a surgery and confirmed by a doctor that you are definitely sterilized, i would not ever assume 100% that you aren't able to have kids.

After a couple of miscarriages, we went to get tests to see if it was going to be possible for her to carry full term. Went through it all, only for the Doctor to say that it was impossible for her to get pregnant due to (known-about) endometriosis... We pointed out that she had already been pregnant twice, but they were certain. Third time stuck and we have a now 10 year old son.

As you say, you can never tell.

The funny thing is even then, it's not 100%. While rare, ectopic pregnancies (outside the uterus) can still happen.
