Question 1

I had tubes tied 10 years ago but have not had a period for 3 months.  i would like to know some possible causes of the missed periods.

Accepted Answer

Tubal ligations fail occasionally, and when they do it is often a tubal pregnancy, so you must rule out pregnancy first.  Otherwise many things can disrupt your cycles including stress, weight gain or loss, various illnesses, diet changes.  A basic evaluation is appropriate at this time.

Question 2

What are the chances of a 32yr getting prego after 10 years having tubes tied and burned ? and missed period 2 positive hpt and 1 neg hpt

Accepted Answer

the failure rate of tubal ligation is about 1 in 300 and is usually due to a tubal fistula. However, many people misread the home hpt as positive by letting it sit out too long.  This is called an evaporation line.  So, since tomorrow is friday and since most post tubal pregnancies end up in the tube.  Call your doctor right away tomorrow morning and ask for a serum(blood) pregnancy test.

Question 3

1-2/1000 tubals fail. Start by doing a preg test. If negative keep track of your periods in a menstrual calendar. If positive make an appointment to be seen.

Question 7

Hi i am 5 days late and my tubes are tied. i have never missed a period or late my period always came regular is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Having your "tubes tied" does provide you a highly effective method of contraception (more than 99%)  but unfortunately pregnancy can still occur although quite rarely.(1 to 15 per 1000 depending on the type of operation) . Checking your blood betaHCG pregnancy test would be wise. If negative, you may want to consult your Gyn if you still miss 2 or 3 periods or if your cycles become irregular.

Question 8

I have my tubes tied ten years ago. i never missed a period. this month i cramped like i was going to come on but i never came on.

Accepted Answer

People who get their tubes tied should still have regular periods, however as you age it is not uncommon that you will miss a period or have an extra period from simple hormonal fluctuations or changes in your environment. As long as you check a pregnancy test and make sure that you are not pregnant, you should get a period at the next cycle

Question 9

Accepted Answer

U need a blood preg test if neg could be due to stress or other hormone problems that can be detected by blood work and u need a perlvic ultrasound so call your gyn to be worked in tom, i always have pts to work in on monday if they are worried about anything.

Question 10

Tubal ligation makes pregnancy less likely. Intestinal causes such as diverticulitis may need to be ruled out. Because abdominal discomfort has several causes, a complete history and physical by your doctor would be recommended.
