Ok, girls....Here's a question for
you....How many of you know someone who
has gotten pregnant "after" having their
tubes tied? I'm two weeks late for af
and well I have all the symptoms. I've
taken many hpt's in the past two weeks and
all have shown a faint positive. I need
some help trying to understand what is
going on with me.

I've always heard any change means that
you are pregnant.See your doc to be
sure.Tubal ligation is not always
100%-sometimes there are accidental
pregnancies.Sorry!Patty

Thanks for the advice.....I've been
researching this since the first day I
skipped my af.........For the past few
months i've been feeling pretty weird,
almost like my body is going through some
kind of change. Right now my bbs are
extremely sore, cm is white and creamy,
bbt is staying right around 99, and cp is
high, soft, and moist.
Here is my story.....
I had a really bad period from june
28-july3 passing clots (sorry tmi), I
stopped and on july 15th I started
spotting and didn't quit until mid aug.
Saw the doc. He put me on birth control
and told me that my uterus was enlarged
for some unknown reason. I completed one
pack and had a normal period on sept.
11-16.....I'm now 11 day's late.....
I have found through my research that
there are quite a few women out there that
have conceived while their tubes are tied.
I'm just waiting to find out if i'm
going to be another statistic.

Even though tubal ligation is considered
permanent, there is a slight possibility
that a woman who has had a tubal ligation
could get pregnant. If a woman who has
had a tubal ligation does get pregnant,
the chances are very high that the
pregnancy could be in the tubes, or a
tubal pregnancy.
What is the percentage chance of
becoming pregnant if you have had a tubal
ligation?
The failure rate for tubal ligation is
about 1.4 percent overall. So, while the
chances of getting pregnant are very low,
they aren't zero percent. Women who have
had a tubal ligation and subsequently get
pregnant are at increased risk for an
ectopic pregnancy.

Well, when the doc. Placed me on birth
control he ran all sorts of test to
include a complete blood count and
prolactin. At this time my breast were
leaky. All the test came back fine. He
just told me that sometimes it's it's
normal. I had a blood pregnancy test
performed about 4 days after I missed my
af. It was only a qualitive test and it
showed negative. So, I don't know what
the level was. It has now been 12 days
since af was due and still no signs of
anything. I have been a little crampy
off and on with low back aches. My bbs
continue to be sore. The funny part is,
is that I never had pms symptoms, it would
always sneak up on me.
Through all of this, I have to wonder if
back in july with all the trouble I was
having with spotting if I might have had a
miscarriage. The cycle I had prior to all
the spotting was pretty bad, worse than
i've ever had. My doc. At the time was
the very doc. That performed my tubal and
was not interested in finding out if I had
been pregnant.
So, here I am one more day through this.
Even my dh thinks I am, I will keep
everyone posted on the happenings. I
have an appt. With a different doc. On
friday. Oh, I don't know if I mentioned
this before but I have some pitting edema
going on in both of my legs from the
knee...Down. I know in all my other
pregnancies, this didn't happen until
later down the line. I had problems with
my blood pressure. So for now, i'm just
waiting and taking notes on the new
changes.
Hope to hear from you soon.
