False Negatives?

How many of you have had a false neg test?
The reason I ask is because aunt flo is
late, but since I never pay much
attention, I have no idea how late it is.
I would guess a couple of weeks. I keep
expecting it to show up any day, but nada.
So I tetsted on Sunday and got a
negative, so I wonder if any of you have
had a false negative? Also, it's
important to note that I had my tubes
tied, so it's a very distant possibility,
but weird things happen. Anyone know the
stats on pregnancy post tubal ligation?

I don't know the stats on that, but I do
know that my aunt had hers done (I'm
assuming that the procedure is the same
now as it was then) and she said it messed
up her periods. That they were irregular
and when she did get them they were really
heavy. Hope that helps.

A friend of mine had her tubes tied after
her second child 4 years ago. Two years
later, she found out she was pregnant
again. Come to find out, the doctor that
performed her tubal only tied ONE of her
tubes.

my mom's friend had hers tied and
capped... three years later, BFP! She was
just meant to have kids I guess... Don't
know the stats, but it's definitely
possible 
Good Luck!

My late grandmother was sterilised but
went on to become pregnant. She was 18
weeks before the doctors would believe
her! That was back in the 60s though
lol!
I would say you're not pregnant Heather,
I'm sure a test would have shown something
by now. It's likely just a dodgy period.
I'm sending menstrual vibes your way!

I think you should call your dr. I'm sure
if you tell them they will do a blood
test. Just to make sure it's not something
serious. (ie tubal pregnancy)

I just googled it & found this:
A recent study has estimated that 143
women in 10,000 get pregnant after a tubal
ligation, making the percentage about
1.43% which is better coverage than
you’ll likely get from other forms of
birth control. In these rare cases, the
fallopian tubes often grow back together,
allowing the egg to come down and be
fertilized and then move into the uterus.
Many of these pregnancies actually turn
out to be ectopic pregnancies because of
the damage done to the tube during a tubal
ligation.
Definitely see your doctor if you don't
get your period, just to be sure!
