Pregnancy after sterilization - can i be???

sorry that last post was for Beaney. I am new to this site so not quite sure what i am doing lol

I am in the same postion as you only i was sterilized 15 months ago and i am 2 weeks late for my period and i to am getting worried because i was told that if i were to get pregnant then it would be eptopic. I too was sterilized because of 3 section and i have done 1 pregnancy test. Has this ever happened to you before?

Hi all just to keep you updated, I am having a scan on the 22nd, so i guess i will find out after all and see with my own eyes! I'll let you know!

hi i'm a mum of four i was sterilised 18 months ago as all my babies were born very prem (32,28,27 and 29 weeks) the last 3 were all e/c section so even at 24 i got it done my periods are always spot on now im over a week late i have done two tests but both negative getting a bit worried :S

i have had the feeling of being pregnant lately. i finally took a test but it came out -. i was sterilized 8 yrs ago where they cut out part of the tube and burned the ends. i actually would like to get pregnant again so i dont know if its in my head. ive definetly had nausea and i pee 3x more than i actually drink. ive been gaining weight and my last period was short and light. could it really be possible?

hate to burst the bubble hun, but with my daughter i had all neg tests including bloods. I have got a scan next week, cause almy tests have again come back negative./ Doc thinks i am ! Sorry hun!

Phew, negative. I'm just fat then!

New to this, just read through all your comments and feeling more in despair.
I've got 4 kids and was sterilized 2 years ago, like mam4times I have gone from a size 8 to a 12 in 3 months.
Thought I was pretty safe having been sterilized! Off to get a test, will keep you posted....

i get test results back on wednesday (hcg levels), have now gone from size 8 to 12 clothes, if im not pregnant, then it may be an enlarged uterus caused by fibroids or something. still got all the symptoms tho not as fierce. oh and im only 30 so defo not change of life for me. will let u know how i get on.

yes you should get it checked out

good luck

i was diognosed with pcos in 2002 just before i was sterlized. However my periods are always on the nose. As for stress no more than normal. Just to add i havestarted spot bleeding (defo not my period, as no cramps and its like the end of my period would be.) Gonna book an app. with gp got a gut feeling something ain't right.

lol oops
maybe another reason then like polycystic ovaries, stress?

i hope not cause i am only 28.!lol

i think there is a 1 in 200 risk of getting pregnant after sterilisation within the first 5 yrs

i have been sterilised since dec 2001 and had no scares, but it is possible in the early stages

could your lack of period be due to perimenopause?

Hi all wondered if you had any advice. I have been sterilized for nearlly 7 years , but i am now 5 days late. This is the first time in 7 years that i have been this late.
I have done 2 preg tests and i have a very very faint second line. I have all the signs morning sickness etc . I didn't think that this could happen. I have 2 beautiful kids.
Gonna see my gp tomorrow, hopeully i won't get palmed off! Gonna push for a scan as i have now got a green discharge and cramping pains on my left side.
I'll keep ya all posted.

ok so i went a gp this morning. spoke to her about symptoms and size of my belly/boobs.she had an examination of my belly and then produced a stethoscope, confirmed that my womb is larger, checked my boobs, as i also have milkk ducts appearing. to go back in a week and have bloods taken. she admitted i look pregnant, have all the classic symptoms, so we will find out once bloods come back. she also said that the statitics and chances of falling pregnant after sterelization are 1 in 200, most people think that is a low risk, yet when u think of how many hospitals there are performing the operation every day, it is actually a high risk factor. good luck to all that are blessed with a miracle baby

i was sterelized in october 08. i already have 4 kids under 10, 3 were born by emergency c section. last march i fell pregnant but misscarried in may. this made me decide to get sterelized. i havent had a period since last march. thats now 14 months of no hassle lol. but i am now getting a bit worried. my partner is convinced i am pregnant again, i have had all the classic symptoms for the last few months and i do look pregnant. i went to my gp who told me it was all in my head. yet it is other people who are saying that i look pregnant, and i do actually feel pregnant. i have felt movement in my lower abdomin and my boobs have leaked milky coloured secretions. i did do two tests but both were inconclusive. any suggestions as gps just quote statitsics and say impossible, not likely go away!!

hi all i am now 9 days late and still no period. i have never missed a period since having my fourth child.think i will do hpt at end of month if still no period.do have few pains in lower back and side though.don't no what to expect as i got sterilized 9 months ago.

Hi Ladies. I had my tubes tied in Feb 2006 and in Feb 2007 I found myself pregnant with my 3rd child (born healthy). I have since had an early m/c and am now pregnant with #4. Aside from having an early scan just to rule out ectopic, my pregnancy was normal with no issues. Nowadays, they clamp your tubes rather than cut and burn them. This just makes it easier to reverse. However, and no one told me this, it also greatly increases the failure rate as the clips tend to "slip". Hope this helps!

hi i got sterilized 9 months ago during a c-section with my fourth child.periods are also reg.but now am 8 days late. i done a hpt when i was 2 days late and it was neg.but still have no period and have pains in lower back.

Hi all i was sterilised 9 months ago and now i am a week late. This is very unusable for me as i never have missed a period only when i conceived my 2 children i am going to wait another week before i do a test as i have been under a little stress and hoping that is it.

My best friend has her tubes tied and they told her there was a 5% chance that she could conceive again in the next 10 years sooo anything is possible... not really sure if thats what you meant

Hi I was sterilized 6 yrs ago and had a miscarrage a yr after !! i now think i might again b pregnant too!!
It's not as uncommon as we think!!
I normally have a 22day cycle and today im on d24 with no signs of a period! ive had lower backache for 4 days, feel unusually tired and have that metalic taste in my mouth!! if no period arrives i will test in 3/4 days time and let you know!!
Good luck to anyone who is in the same boat!!

it was a straight forward sterilisation 8 months after the birth of my daughter who i gave birth to normally no c section or anything no one can tell me why this has happened im in total shock.

puddytats (good name ) ASDA do v cheap pg tests - 2 for £1, is that a possibility?
