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?

I believe that I truly need a ultrasound because I don't think it's gas in my stomach. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant, and that's kind of wierd to me. My stomach want go down and it's always hard. What does that mean? When I lay down it's a strong pulse, but I will schedule an ultrasound as soon as possible, so I can be at ease. Thanks again...

Hii my tubes have been tied for eight years. I just recently about a week ago started feeling flurries in my lower abdomen. The last time I felt those I was pregnant. My sister says it could be gas? What you think??

I don't know what to think because I have been in this situation since August 2014. My tubes been tide for over 16 years and I still don't know what's going on with my body. I feel movement slot, and when I lay on my side I can feel a strong heartbeat. My cycle still comes on regularly, but it doesn't stay on for the full five days. I took two home pregnancy test, and both were negative, then I went to the doctor to get a blood pregnancy test, and that was negative also. My other alternative is an ultrasound, to know for sure what's moving around inside my tummy, and why their is such a strong heartbeat when I lay on my side. I really need some answers, so I can get the care that I need. Thanks...

Hello Anonymous,

It is possible that what you feel as a heartbeat may be your own pulse.

The descending aorta is the part of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, that runs down through the chest and the abdomen. If you place your hand over your abdomen you can feel the pulsation. You might be more aware of this when you lay on your side.

An ultrasound will definitely confirm if you are pregnant.

Regards,
Maryann

I'm the same, I'm 38 I have an 18 year old. I have had my tubes tied for almost 15 years. I just went to the doctor this past Saturday and told her that I haven't had my period for January. To date I'm 16 days late and my nipples are super sensitive but I have no other symptoms of being pregnant. They did two tests in the office and both came back positive. I cried like shit. I go to the ob\gyn tomoro to get an ultrasound. I also googled my situation and the results is I could be pregnant or have a molar pregnancy (tumor) or have some type of cancer. The crazy part is that I really want this baby......
