Okay, can you have symptoms of pregnancy but still have periods 5 yrs after a tubal ligation?

Question

okay im 35 and have 4 children, very fertile...5yrs ago I had a tubal im now having evey symptom of pregnancy except missing my period...I even think I feel fluttering. Ive recently lost 20lbs but have a hard little pouch what are the odds of me being pregnant?

Answer 1

I honestly chuckle at how many people are quick to tell you that you're pregnant just because of a few generic symptoms.

Reality check: Tubal ligation is MORE than 99% effective. The odds of either tube miraculously growing back together and not being plugged by scar tissue are EXTREMELY small...infinitesimal in fact.

But that doesn't mean you don't have a problem that needs to be checked out. You could very well have a fibroid or two, maybe some endometriosis or PID, and possibly even ovarian cysts. The idea that you're feeling fluttering is probably as much psychosomatic as anything else. I haven't had a baby in many years, but I swear I still feel it once in a while...and I'm definitely NOT pregnant.

If you're really concerned, go see your OB and get an ultrasound to put your mind to rest. Just don't be surprised if pregnancy isn't the diagnosis.

Answer 2

A friend of mine had a tubal ligation 9 years ago after her daughter was born.....she ended up pregnant and delivered a beautiful baby girl. So, there is a chance!

Answer 3

Oh its very possable that your pregnant, It would be wise that you go to the Dr, you could have a tubal pregnancy, and they are life threatning, If you`ve had 4 children, you know pretty well the symptoms, go to the doc.
