Pregnancy?: A tubal ligation doesn't entirely eliminate the risk of pregnancy. The risk of pregnancy after a tubal is .5-5% depending on how old you are and what type of tubal ligation was done. So do a pregnancy test. If not pregnant, I would worry about an infection or gastroenteritis. Best wishes!
