Pregnancy After a Tubal???? Posted: 05-31-07 21:19pm
I
have the same question as many women on
here have had and I have to admit it is
very scary. I had a tubal on March 30th
1999 the day after my daughter was born
and my tubes were both cut and burnt. I
have been having a lot of leakage out of
my breast for the last week I have never
had this before and I’m a little
concerned that this may me symptoms of a
pregnancy. I still have a little more then
a week before my period is supposed to
start I took a home test today and it came
out negative was it to early to take a
test? I am very nervous because I had a
back injury that causes spasms and I take
medication for it. I feel like I should
stop taking my medication just in case.
How likely is it that I could be pregnant?

Well, rarely a tubal ligation fails, but
it's not common.
Usually, leakage from the breast is more a
sign of an infection or hormonal imbalance
(high prolactin levels). Sometimes, high
prolactin levels can be caused by certain
medications as well. It's generally not
an early sign of pregnancy for most
women.
Yes, I do think it was too early to test.
There are some tests which give you
results 5 days before your period (though
they cheat a little with the 5th day being
the actual day your period is due), but
when you test early, the box usually says
something like 30% of pregnant women will
have a positive result 4 days before they
expect their period.
Wait until your period is late and test
again. Stress and illness can also cause
irregularities in your cycle.
