You have pregnancy symptoms your period is 3 days late and you had a tubal ligation 1.5 years ago Negative Pregnancy test - Could you be pregnant?

Answer 1

While there are a number of varying statistics on the subject, most studies put the failure rate for tubal ligations at less than one half of one percent. So, while there's a statistical possibility that you could be pregnant, it's very unlikely. There are lots of things that could cause you to be late, so relax and give it a little time and if you develop any specific symptoms other than being a little late, go see a doctor. Good luck.

Answer 2

It is a possibility. While tubal ligations are near 100% effective at preventing future conception, very rarely a pregnancy will occur (approximately 1.4% failure rate). Often, if a woman does conceive, it results in an ectopic pregnancy. But, if your doctor deems the pregnancy to be normal and in the uterus where it should be, then your pregnancy-after-tubal-ligation should go just fine. As far as being 3 days late, re-test again in 2 or 3 days. If it is still negative and no period, call your doctor as something else may be to blame.

Answer 3

Take the test again, it could always be wrong. But then again you are only 3 days late. give it a week or so.
