Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER,  Tubal ligation and tubal implants are not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy.  Pregnancy may occur if the tubes grow back together or a new passage forms that allows an egg to be fertilized by sperm. Other conditions can also cause changes to your cycles. You will need to discuss this with your doctor.

Best,

Daisy
