Yes: If you are pregnant and have a tubal, there is high risk for ectopic pregnancy. See a doctor as soon as possible.

See your doctor: Tubal ligation is about 99% effective. Wen who become pregnant after a tubal ligation are at higher risk of have the pregnancy in the tubes. See your doctor right away. Go to the emergency room if you experience bleeding, cramping or especially sharp pain.

Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a negative result may be due to testing too early such as less than 2 weeks after conception.
