A member asked:

My tubes are tied but i'm spotting brown very light not normal at all what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tubal not foolproof: Pregnancy is uncommon after tubal ligation but can happen. If bleeding patterns change then pregnancy should be ruled out. In this situation a pcp or ob/gyn should be consulted.
