Hello and thank you in advance to all who try to help =)

I had my tubes tied after my last pregnancy (17 months ago) and since then I have not paid much attention to what day of the month my period starts. I do know I had my period in February (my guess is I started on the 14th or 21st - it was a Sat. and towards the later part of the month) and it's now going on April and I have not had a period. I know it's very unlikely that I could get pregnant after having my tubes tied BUT I conceived my three boys extremely easily. I'm just a fertile mertile ;) So, I do not doubt my bodies ability to get pregnant. I did take a pregnancy test last thursday (March 26) and it was negative. I don't currently have health insurance, if I did I would just make an appt to see my Doctor. What are your thoughts? Think I could be pregnant? FYI my periods are never late. If anything they come early and they last abour 7-8 days (ugh!!).

Thanks!!

P.S. If I were indeed pregnant would I get a positive pregnancy test if it was an ectopic pregnancy?

Hello rubi,

In some cases, pregnancy following a tubal ligation can occur because of recanalization Recanalization occurs when the ends of the fallopian tube regenerates and form slit-like spaces and pouches or the ends of the tubes meet and re-establish the patency of the tube.

Take a home pregnancy test. Test in the morning and use the first urine of the day.

Or, just call your gynecologist to report this.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello, I had my tubes tied in 2007. I had my last menstrual on September 2nd and a week later I started spotting. I have been going to the restrooms a whole lot and everytime I wipe it pink. My breast are tender and my nipples itch real bad. What is wrong with my body.

I had my tubes tide in 2001. My cycles are generally 30-34 days. My last menstrual cycle began April 19th 2015. It was normal. Today is June 2nd and still haven't started my period. I thought i Ovulated on May 5th 2015. But obviously not. I haven't had any unusual new stressors in my life. I have noted lower back pain and mild cramping. Did i ovulate late?

OK so I'm reading a lot of similar issues with other women. I had my tubes tied 09/25/2012 the day my son was born. My period has been regular every month always comes on the 17th. Well February it was normal March it was 2 weeks early, April it came 1 week after it normally does and so far this month (May) it's just not shown up yet. 11 days late and counting but I've been cramping for the past 2 weeks. I don't have insurance and can't afford a did or I would go. I haven't taken a hpt yet cause I've been broke after paying the bills. I'm a single Mom of 3 can't afford a lot ya know. Any advice would be appreciated.

I know it sounds crazy but the dollar store sells pregnancy test that are pretty accurate. Thats how I found out with my pregnancies. You also may be able to apply for medical assistance in your state with having 3 kids not sure of your job pay but it can help and your kids will be insured too for free
