Having your tubes tied is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, but there have been reports of the tubes "growing" back together, depending on what type of tubal ligation you had.
Your symptoms of hot flashes may indicate perimenopause...or you may just have the flu or a cold (depending on other symptoms) or a late period...it really could be "anything". Since you are 2 weeks late for your period, it is a good idea to take a home pregnancy test to "rule out" pregnancy (since this is your fear).
Also, since this is your first irregular period...please know that you may just be experiencing a late or missed period. This happens to many, many women, and is not indicative of any condition necessarily. Women's bodies "ebb and flow" over the years in regards to their cycles, and you may miss a period for no "apparent" reason; doctors are typically not concerned with a missed period (in the absence of pregnancy and other symptoms) until women have missed 3 consecutive periods, as it is extremely common to miss a period.
