I had a tubal ligation 12 years ago. Is there a way to check if it is still effective?

The best way to find out if your tubes are still tied, is to go to your OB/Gyn and have an ultrasound done to see if the fallopian tubes are still tied. There is no other way, besides another surgery, or the wait and see method, which is essentially waiting to see if you get pregnant again. So, if I were you, I'd call the doctor and set up an appointment to have an ultrasound done to check and see if the ligation is still in effect.

How does a woman menstruate after tubal ligation?
A woman menstruates after a tubal ligation just like she would before she had this done. After the tubal ligation the ovaries still work the same as always and the uterus still responds the same way to the hormones to plump up and then shed when pregnancy doesn't occur. All tubal ligation does is cut or seal off the fallopian tubes so that the sperm cannot get to the egg to conceive.
