Ectopic PG possible: When tubal ligations fail they can usually be ectopic pregnancies(tubal), and may give a faint positive pregnancy test. If your period is still a "no show" repeat the pregnancy test and see a GYN MD if positive.

Pregnant: Tubal ligation in young women, e.g., in a 21 y/o, has been shown to have a significantly higher failure rate (20 times higher) over the ten years following the tubal ligation than in women over the age of 35 y/o. Women who get pregnant after tubal ligation, have a high risk of having a tubal pregnancy.
