My tubes are tied, 5 days late for my period, period came for 1 day, having terrible cramping, what could be wrong?

Several things: There are several things that could cause your symptoms but the most serious possibility in someone whose period is late and abnormal and who is having pain after having a tubal ligation is an ectopic pregnancy. This is considered a medical emergency and you need to be seen immediately by your PCP, GYN, an urgent care clinic, or an emergency room. Good luck.
