Can I still get pregnant without fallopian tubes?

Hey guys. My name is Arlyne. I'm 30 yrs old, and I have 3 kids. After I had my 2nd child my husband and I decided to get my tubes tied. We had our girl first then our boy and we were happy with 2 kids. I had a c-section and a month later I went back and had my tubes cut and burned. 2 yrs later, we found out that I was pregnant again with a little girl. Which under the circumstances we named her Angelina because she was definitely our little miracle. During another c-section with her, I had my tubes totally removed. And come to find out that the previous procedure was done correctly because everything was still intact and the doctor could clearly see that the tubes were still cut and burned. My husband has also gotten a vasectomy because we really wanted to be sure that this can't happen again. Well, here we are almost 4 yrs later and I am 5 days late with my period. I've been getting the cramps, backaches, and headaches that I usually get but just no period. I just started getting a new symptom today. When I am pregnant, I usually get a really quizzy feeling when I brush my teeth. I'm getting nervous! I have read that you can't get pregnant with no tubes and a vasectomy, but given my past, I still have it in the back of my mind that it could be. Any advice?

Your new information does change the story, then, if you may have missed up to two periods! Your changing "toilet habits" would make sense, as if you are pregnant, you would definitely be experiencing some pregnancy symptoms. Frequent urination can also be a sign of a urinary tract infection, so it may be worth a call to your doctor to tell them that you have missed either 1 or 2 periods, and are urinating frequently.

I just read your original question (I think it is you...it is hard to follow with your posting anonymously or without signing with a name at the end of your post), and read that you are wondering if these are signs of menopause (rather than pregnancy). (I assumed your question was regarding pregnancy, as is part of the "am i pregnant" thread. Your question is worthy of it's OWN space and discussion, if you would like to post it...just click on the orange ASK button on the COMMUNITY page).

How old are you? You may be going through perimenopause if you are in your 40s, and you may want to take a home pregnancy test just to rule this out. We can definitely talk with you more about this!

Anon, the odds of a pregnancy would be tiny. Teeny tiny. Without either fallopian tube connecting your ovary to your uterus, there's just no foreseeable way that an egg could make the journey. However, strange things sometimes happen! What are the symptoms you are experiencing? Are you late with your period? Tender breasts? Bloating?
