Question:
|
|
|
| I had my tubes tied 4 years ago. I have not missed a period, but I am feeling movement in my stomach, like kicking of a baby. I want to know is there a chance I could be pregnant and not know it. On two Occasions I have gotten real sick for one day after my period. It consisted of vomiting and bad heart burn. Then another time my period came on 2x in one month, but I figured my cycle may have changed. I have to urinate contantly. I took a pregnancy test today and it came back negative. What is the possiblity that I could be pregnant after getting my tubes tied and not know that I am pregnant because of getting my period every month.

| It is certainly possible - although rare - for ladies who have had tubal ligations to still get pregnant. However, seeing your doctor to review your symptoms, an examination and to do a laboratory (blood hormone) pregnancy test would be the best way forward under these circumstances. These comments are made for the purpose of discussion and should NOT be used as recommendations for or against therapies or other treatments. An individual patient is always advised to consult their own physician.
