Why might you be late for your period if you had your tubes tied?

Answer 1

I had a tubal ligation in 1999. And my periods stay regular. So if you haven't got your period. I would call my Doctor and have myself checked. Because with my experience that isn't normal. Your periods are controlled by your ovaries secreting hormones directly into your bloodstream, nothing to do with your tubes. So your periods should remain absolutely normal.

Answer 2

well I had my second son 1 yr ago and I got my tubes tied after my son was born during a c-section. It is March 2,2006 and my period is two weeks late. I am a person that has had regular periods and I was not on Birth Control. I am having signs of pregnancy but I am not sure. I am hundred percent sure that if your period is late after getting your tubes that it can mean you are pregnant or there is something going on with your body. I am going to give it a couple more days and find out and see. If anybody else can help with some answers that would be great.

Answer 3

A tubal ligation affects only the ability for your eggs to travel to the uterus and does not allow them to be fertilized or implanted. Your uterus still builds up the stores of mucus and blood that it always has readying your body for pregnancy. Therefore it must shed as it always has.

Answer 4

Periods can stop for various reasons:

• Stress
• Hormone Levels
• Eating Habits
• Exercise Habits
• Changes in daily routines

These are only a few things off the top of my head. You should probably call your practitioner.

Answer 5

If a woman gets her tubes tied (tubal ligation) she will not be able to get pregnant, but she will still menstruate (have her period). In a tubal ligation the fallopian tubes that carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus are cut (and closed), but the ovaries themselves aren't removed. Since the ovaries are still producing hormones, the walls of the uterus will continue to cycle through its changes, and a period will occur.

Answer 6

There are any number of things that cause a woman to have a late or missed period. Lack of sleep, illness, dieting, exercise, hormones, age, stress.

Very, very rarely the tubes will "reattach" and the woman becomes pregnant. If you miss 2 cycles in a row, you should get a pregnancy test. Women who have become pregnant after a tubal ligation or other ovarian surgery are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy and need to be closely monitored in early pregnancy. (again, very seldom happens)

If your period stops, prior to age related hormonal changes, you need to find out why. Thyroid imbalance is one of many things that causes a woman to stop menstruating.

Answer 7

Not likely, maybe hormonal changes. If you are pregnant you have a good law suit.

Answer 8

No. Your period is hormone based and the tubal ligation is just preventing the meeting of egg and sperm. You still ovulate each month which is triggered by hormones.
