Bleeding.: There is nothing about the 'tubal ligation' that would cause irregular bleeding. However, if you stopped any birth control before the procedure you might have some irregular bleeding. Also when the procedure is done there is a device in the uterus that can stir up some bleeding. It will proprobably resolve in the next month or two.
