I had a tubal ligation a little over 2 years ago. But, for the last week I have been experiencing back cramp, lower abdominal cramps, fatigue, and cravings. I am 5 days late on my cycle (which i am never late). I have taken 2 tests and both were negative. I am waiting to hear back from my doctors office, but just wondering if anything like this has happened to anyone. If so, were you pregnant? The only time I have ever experienced these type of back cramps, I was pregnant....

The same thing is happening to me only i have spotting for thirty mintues when im suppose to start my period and then nothing. Only time i have back cramps lower abdominal pain and cramps cravings and fatigue is when im pregnant. Also my belly is getting huge and im gaining weight like crazy. Took a test came back negative. I took another one bout a week ago and came back positive. I dont want to get my hopes up cause i know that there is a chance of having a mole pregnancy. Going to the doctor to find out for sure.

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to our community.
There is a slight risk of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation. This happens to about 5 out of 1,000 women after 1 year. Pregnancy may occur if the tubes grow back together or a new passage forms that allows an egg to be fertilized by sperm.
Please keep us updated after you hear back from your doctor's office.
