Not sure if this is the right place for this but here goes.
Was sterilized about 6 -8 months ago after birth of dd. My choice very very certain i do not want any more children.
Period is now bout 8 days late, am feeling very tired and not hungry. What with everything else going on pregnancy not needed at the moment.
Symptons could be down to heat, stress, change in medication etc but beginning to get very worried. Any answers, advice similar experiences would be gratefully received!!

were you sterilised the same time as a c.section? if so, there is a slightly higher failure rate as tubes etc swollen from pregnancy...

Some charities also offer free testing - like Lifeline Pregnancy.

YES - heat, stress and change in medication can very, very much affect your cycle.

Get a test and go from there.

Good luck!

puddytats,
yes it is supposed to be permanent but it does have a failure rate....
Also, the consultant warn me that when it did fail there was a higher chance of being an ectopic. So I pass to you his words.... If you ever think you could be... do a test ASAP, and rule out ectopic even faster!

So go to the Gp and demand a test!

Hope is just the heat!

There is a small risk of pregnancy after a tubal ligation, and if you do get pregnant it is very important that you get to a doctor as there is a risk of an ectopic (preg in the tube). So please do go to the doc.

I would have thought stress would be a MAJOR factoe for you at the moment (sorry), but agree with the fish, the best way to put your mind straight would be a test.

I was told that the biggest risk of sterilisation was ectopic pregnancy, so get yourself checked.

well not sure if it's the same thing really, but I remember reading in the paper once about a lady who had her womb and overies but no tubes (can't remember the reason why) but anyhow she got PG - was a lucky miracle I think. it's prob due to the stress etc you've been under.

only one way to find out really.
