A member asked:

I'm just over 3 weeks late on my period.had a tubal ligation 5 years ago. feeling sharp pains to lower right abdomen and loose tummy for a week now.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Late period/tubal: Tubal ligations are generally successful as birth control, but some may re-open, and since there is damage to the integrity of the tube, the chance for a tubal pregnancy is higher. Get a serum HCG test, and if positive, an ultrasound via your gyn provider. Ectopic pregnancy requires immediate treatment.
