Pregnancy after sterilization - can i be???

[puddytats]

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!!

hi, i am having a c-section on my fourth child and being steralized at same time just wondering will i be asleep while they do it?

I was sterilised during my elective section on April 1st and you are still awake for it.

I exclusively breastfed for 6 months and stopped a month ago and still no period. I'm really bloated and feel like i did with my last 2 pregnancies. i was told that another pregnancy would risk my health and i am having 4 operations next year to reconstruct both of my knees so it would be awful if i was pregnant. my boys are 2 and 7 months so just couldn't do it again. will get a test tonight

Hi all.
New to this. I was Sterilised in July this year. My period is only 2 days late but something doesnt feel right. im very bloated feeling a tad sick but burping.. nice!! My boobs feel heavy aswell. I think we all panic about these things but its true what people say. once you have been sterilised you want another one lol. It would be great to hear everyone elses experiences xx

Ps How did you get on Hollilyric?

Hi Just reading all your comments. I was 42 when I had my last child. I was sterilized during my c-section as I was told due to the extensive work done to restructure my womb at 34 yrs old that I could not go through another pregnancy as it could rupture my womb. a year later I was pregnant and told to abort but left to decide for myself, after a lot of thought and being hormonilly compromised I decided to go ahead only to find the baby had died anyway. so a few years later after finding a new sterilization method called 'esure' I had my tubes blocked vaginally. I am a 28 day girl on the nose and I am 13 days late, I am 48 so am thinking this could be the start of the menopause. I do think if I don't start in the next few days i will have to go for a test but I do not feel pregnant, if anything my boobs have deflated in the last two months and I have been able to loose weight without trying for the first time in years. Just a bit odd as my last two periods were well on the nose of 28 days. Not like me at all but I guess the old meno has to start somewhere. I guess if it is will start soon and each month will be later and later. I think it takes a year in all. Good luck all of you out there ..please go for a test if in any doubt..:)

i had my daughter nearly 4 years ago by c section and at the same time got sterilised, i heard that if you have this done at the time of a section your tubes are swollen and it may not work right, i am now 3 weeks late for my period could i be pregnant

Hi, 10 months ago i gave birth to baby #4 by c-section and was sterilized at the same time, my periods have been on time every month, but now i am 4 days late and been feeling really sick in the mornings or when making babys food!!! I done 4 hCG tests....one of them came back with a very faint pale pink positive line, which is how they kept coming back when i was testing with baby #4! Now i'm not sure what to do, you can only just see the line....should i wait a few days and do another one? Or should i just go straight to my doctor to rule out eptopic? x

[flyingspaghettimonster]

When my Mirena failed I was told that it was safer than a tubal ligation - meaning more women get pregnant after their tubes are tied than while using the Mirena. Yet my Mirena failed... and so it is definitely a possibility I am afraid. If it something you desperately do not want and can't deal with right now, please please get the test asap because the sooner you can sort it out the better.

Hi 14 months ago i was sterilised after having my little girl by c-section, i am now quite late for my period. I have done various amounts of tests but have all come back negative, i am nearly 7 weeks gone by the time it shows up on a pregnancy test. I have morning sickness for the past few days, do you think i could be pregnant? somebody give me some advice please

[CherryPie3]

Hi there, I honestly dont know the odds but if you suspect you are then I'd recommend visiting your nurse or doctor for hcg blood test. Only way to know for sure if hpt's are failing you.

Good luck!

hi there , i had my tubes clamped 2 and a half years ago, when my 4th child was 5 months old. I only planned on two children but i had an iud fail and the pill failed too. so i went and got myself what i thought was sorted. I had a bad last pregnancy where my hips stuffed out, i went for an x-ray to see that there are 2 of the clips on the one side and none on the other. I feel very lucky to have not fallen pregnant but how does that happen. waiting for the doctor to get back to me on that.

[mum2mad5]

Hi everyone...I was sterilized 18 months ago with clips at the same time as my 5th c section...I'm now 6 days late!..also had a smear 2 weeks ago and the doc said my womb wad a little on the big side...all my results were normal..but now worried about being pregnant..x

[mightymummy]

Hello
This is my first time using this ,have been reading peoples messages and thought i might be able to get some answers.
I was sterilized over 6 years ago but have now missed a period and am having pregnancy symptons :-(. Im to scared to have a test as really didnt want anymore children as i already have 4 and a grandson .I am 37 and was hoping to start enjoying my social life . What to do ? Has anyone had this and turned out not to be pregnant ?

[whatatip]

Well, see the post directly above yours, it obviously can happen. Also, I met a dad in the playground recently, pushing his twins on the roundabout who were conceived after his wife had been sterilised. (They were children 5&6 for them and they were both over 40).

Equally there are about a million posts on here from women who have had mysteriously disappearing periods and it was just one of those things, so you could just be having that now.

To state the obvious you really need to just test to either put your mind at rest or so you can decide what you want to do sooner rather than later if it is +ve.

[pollypoddle]

Well went doctors yesturday and done a test have to wait 5 to 7 days for results so will post them when i find out . Have been having sickness in the morning for the past couple of days so it does feel like i am . My partner will be happy as he has no children of his own so will be keeping it if i am .

[whatatip]

Thanks for updating, I have been thinking about you. And I am glad to hear your partner will be happy, that will help you through.
Why does it take so long with the doctors? Did they not just get a stick for you to pee on? I couldn't wait that long if I were you, it sounds excruciating.

[lisamoomoo]

Hi x I had a c section 4 years ago and was sterilized at the same time. However I'm over a week late my boobs hurt feel sick and very emotional.. didn't think it was possible to get pregnant. But after reading this think I should do a test.. in total shock as really thought it was impossible. Will update you x Lisa x

[squishy7]

well ladies and all, im new to the site and was amazed to hear mightymummy's story. I had clips put on my tubes nearly 18 yrs ago, my periods are regular and predictable. For the first time in years im now 24 days late, my next period is due 20/11/2011. i have had sore and tender boobs, swollen stomach, felt queezy not been sick and feel drained most of the time. I did a test at 17 & 18 days late, both negative ( albiet they were cheap ones from asda). I called to get an appointment at my docs to which i was told they were full until next week!! so i am going to buy another test tonight as its beena week since last test. Not sure what to think if the next test is negative as i feel the size of a house. All symptoms are the same as my previous three children although they are all grown up now as i turned 40 this year obviously a pregnancy is not planned. Will post tomorrow with the new results xxxx wish me luck xxx

[squishy7]

good morning all,

Well i did another test last night (clearblue) and it came back negative. So gonna try get in to the doctors this friday and insist on a blood test to find out whats going on......
