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'm a week late for my period. My tubes have been tied for 8yrs. I usually have signs when I'm about to start, I haven't had any. How long do I need to wait before I go to my PCP to see y I haven't had my period?

Hi there,

Just to share with you that i had my tubal ligations in mac 2013, and ive got pregnant on Oct 2013. I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in july 2014. And went to doc to check of i am still on tubal ligation. And the doc said YES. Im still on tubal ligations. Just im one of the lucky women to get preg after my tubal ligations. BUT now.. I am late for 10days period.. There is symptoms of nausea, craving and mood swing.. Ive tested twice and its negative. Maybe i just need to wait till end of the month and test it again if my period still didnt come. Anw im on 28days cycle and my period is on time plus minus two days.
If im pregnant, im happy.. But if i have some other sickness.. I dont know how can i face it.. Huhu..

I am 27, I had my tubes tied March 19th, 2015. The same day I had my son. Mu period have been like clock work, every 28days lasting 3-4days each cycle. Now.. I'm 4days late. No cramping, just a few twinges on my right side. I'm overly exhausted, my breasts are a tad sore, and feel queasy from time to time. If I had insurance id skip the worry and just go to the doctor. But that's not simple. I think I'm gonna buy a cheap test at the dollar store tomorrow if I haven't started by then, just to kinda clear my mind. Has anyone become pregnant with their tines tied? If so, What happened? If I happen to be pregnant, I won't be entirely upset. I love kids, but I would probably be totally shocked!!

I had a tl last November. This last month ive been having all the pregnancy symptoms, but thought nothing of it because I can't get pregnant...the other night after fooling around with my beau's, we noticed blood. I'm not due for my period for another week and a half. I bled bright red with large clots for about 12 hrs, then have been spotting on and off the last 2 days with hust mild cramps here and therr. Any advise would be appreciated

Hello Anonymous,

Please contact your gynecologist's office to report this. Was the tubal ligation last month or November 2015?

Regards,
Maryann
