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?

Yes! You can still have an tubal pregnancy and a test come out negative. Especially in the early stages..
Yes! Even if you have your tubes tied(tubal ligation) there is still a possibility that you can have a legit pregnancy although it is rare!
However!!if you had your tubes tied and feel the symptoms of pregnancy and have not yet gotten your period or you were just spotting call your doctor immediately you could be having a tubal pregnancy.

What did you find out? Did u see a doctor yet? I hope the best for you. I am having a similar issue myself and yours sounds quite similar to mine. I'm 32, with two kids (12, and almost 11) I've been tied up for almost 11 years.... having a bunch of symptoms and I sound like a nut, but I just "feel pregnant" I've tried going back on the calendar but I have to be honest, I'm not sure how long my cycle is as AF comes when she wants...usually toward middle of month tho. I know December only because I bought some tampons and left them in my car - they were stolen! Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm a 28 32 or howevermany day cycle. My point, I just want to know what you found out. I've taken 4 teats and they were negative. Not sure if yours is wanted but I can tell you I got my tubes tied for a reason, but of course will welcome whatever happens.- any insight you can give would be helpful. I just really don't want to call my Dr and say I "feel pregnant" hahha...not me.

Hey ladies my period is 10 days late I took two pregnancy test and both came out negative. I've had my tubes tied a little over two years ago and I know it's rare to get pregnant but not completely impossible. The other day when I was going to the bathroom I wiped and there was a little bit of blood Streaked mucus. That happened twice and then nothing. I was just wondering if it was An ectopic pregnancy if it would show up on a pregnancy test. What do you think I should do?

Yes an ectopic pregnancy will show up on a pregnancy test. I've had one before.

Also, my doctor said he tied and then cut a segment out. No burning...does that make it more likely for pregnancy?
