Q: 

Tubes are tied but still concerned I could be pregnant. Period is MIA.

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 Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. You may want to talk with your primary care physician and your gynecologist. Blood tests to check your hormone levels might be in order. Fluctuations in any of the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle might be the reason you had spotting nine days following your period. An under active thyroid gland could explain your fatigue.

Hello Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. Are you feeling a hard mass in your mid abdominal area or lower abdominal area? Are you having any other symptoms such as pain or constipation?

I do not know what could be the cause. If you continue to notice that this area feels abnormally hard, consider consulting your primary care physician, who can examine your abdomen.

Regards,
Maryann

Hello Anonymous,

You need to speak with the physician who performed the tubal ligation.

The fallopian tubes are either tied together, sealed closed with a ring or clip, or cauterizing together using a mild electric current.

You could take a home pregnancy test to see if pregnancy is the reason for your late period.

Maryann
