Prob not preg but...: Generally with an ablation it is harder to get pregnant but not impossible. It is not a form of birth control. One should always use another form of contraception. If your test is negative it is probably correct. Recheck in a week or two. If you also have had a tubal ligation it is common to have more painful bloating and cyclical pain even if you do not have any bleeding.

Blood Test: You may wish to repeat the urine test in about a week, or see your doctor for a blood test that is more accurate than urine test.
