tubals can sometimes do funny things to our cycles.
i had mine tied in 2003 and about a year ago,out of the blue-i started having all sorts of problems.
my period usually lasted for about 3 days and was moderately to light flow. about a year ago it started last longer and longer-it now goes about 7 days and the flow is so heavy that at night i have to not only wear both the tampon and the pad at the same time, but i have to also line my bed with towels and set my alarm clock to get up and change things or i'll have a mess when i wake up.
i pass huge clots and have been hospitalized twice to receive blood transfusions due to my blood levels dropping so low.
i was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia and have to take iron tablets everyday. my dr told me i could have surgery to stop my periods altogether but my boyfriend of two years has no children and we're going to be married eventually and want to have one together (i can have invitro done).
my advise to you is to monitor this situation-if you start to have abnormal bleeding (spotting during a time you're not supposed to have your period-i was doing this too), you have severe cramps with your next cycle or the same bleeding pattern-i would make an appt with your dr to have it checked out. the chances of you getting pregnant are less than 1%

Listen, I have been going through the same thing since I was 16.
(But I don't have my tubes tied, that doesn't have anything to do with it.) Now at 24 I just had surgery about 2 weeks ago to correct the problem. I had cysts on my ovaries and it had been going on so long, my right ovary was enlarged. All of these years I thought it was my appendix, I never put the 2 together and thought about it being connected to my period pain. But that was the problem. Since I was 16 every doctor that I had gone to until now, which was alot, not one of them ever listened to me and looked into the problem. But they should have, because I have had too much pain to live with until now. I haven't had my period yet since I've had the surgery, but I think it will be way better than what I have been going through. Surgery was totally worth it! You really should go and see your Doctor!

See your Gyno!
Because this is way out of the ordinary for you, you should get on it right away.
I very highly doubt that you're pregnant, so don't fret over that.
You may be having a hard time with elimination though, and it
might be best to have a DNC procedure done to get things
flowing normally again. Your Doc. can look and feel and let you know.
If you can't get to a Doc. right away, or want to try to clear things up on your own, I recommend cleaning yourself out. Thus, cleansing teas (even ones usually meant for bowels will help), lots of hot water on/around the area (baths or hot water bottles), and possibly a lot of sex to plunge you out.
If that doesn't start to relieve you within a day or two, see the Doc.!
Get well soon.

Girl:go see your familydoctor at once,and talk about it.
Maby a visit to your gynaecologist or surgeon who did the job can solve the problem you are facing now.
Do not wait :undertake action.
I know many women who had the exact some problem that you have now.
Sorry to tell you that I am a man.
But I am serious in my answer to you.
Do something about it.
Do as I told you:see your doctor and listen to his or her advise.

Isn't it better to go to the doctor and find out that nothing was wrong than it is to NOT go to the doctor and find out later that you really should have? it's always ok, and if the worse that happens is you put your mind at ease, great! but if something else is going on then you have it taken care of and get relief or help or cured or whatever. bottom line? it's always OK to go to the doctor. that's what they are there for.

even with your tubs tied you can have this happen ,don't be worried about it right now your body is just going through this kind of change and it will be back to the norm soon.
or there might be a little 1% that you got pg again.best take the test and find out,and don't wig out just yet.

Even with a tubes tied you can still have complications...such as pregnancy or tubal pregnancy. The amount of pain you were in is not normal so I would call your GYN.
