You had a tubal ligation almost four years ago you are only 29 and lately your periods have been irregular - sometimes going three months apart. What can cause this?

Depending upon your age, you could be starting menopause. It is possible, though very unlikely, that, if the fallopian tubes weren't severed, an ovum could pass through the tube. This is best answered by a visit to a gynecologist.

∙ 16y agoTubal ligation should not have a bearing on your present situation, but there is a remote possibility that it could. Changes in hormone levels can change timing of periods. Concider if there has been a change in diet, work, stress, meds, injury, or illness.

∙ 16y agoWow! Do I know how you feel! I had my tubal ligation on December 1, 2006, and my period has not happened yet for the month of June...and it's July 9! I am worried, but I read on this site that it takes 6 to 18 months for your body to return to a "normal" cycle...and if you were irregular before the tubal, that it could make it even more so irregular after one. So that makes me feel tons better....I was very irregular before! I would wait for a couple of days, then maybe take a home pregnancy test....then go to a doctor for a blood test.

Do you still have a period after a tubal ligation?
After a tubal ligation, no matter which method, your body is adjusting to the changes. Hormones, ovulation, and even serotonin levels are affected by this surgery. Menstrual changes are common, especially if you have stopped your previous birth control method along with the surgery. It can take anywhere between 6 to 18 months for your body to readjust, and a "proper" cycle to resume. If you were always irregular, this can be even more so anticipated. For Depro-Provera users prior to TL, you may have irregular bleeding patterns. Speak to your doctor with any concerns, and always be alert to the possiblity of that 1% failure rate! Hope this helps. After a tubal ligation, no matter which method performed, your body is adjusting physically and emotionally. Hormones, ovulation, and even serotonin levels are affected by this surgery, sometimes causing what is referred to as "Post Tubal Ligation Syndrome". Menstrual irregularities are common, especially if you have stopped your previous birth control method along with the surgery. It can take anywhere between 6 to 18 months for your body to re-adjust, and a "normal" cycle to resume. If your cycles were irregular pre-surgery, this can be even more so anticipated and considered the norm. For those who used Depo-Provera as a form of birth control prior to your TL, you may have spotting for several days to weeks at at time after cessation of this method. Ultimately you know your body best and if you have any post-surgical concerns, see your Doctor right away. For all those ladies who are trying to conceive after a TL, I understand...I am 2 months post TL... but remember to be thankful for those we already have. Best regards and hopes for success to you all.

Why does blood come out when your hit puberty?
its because you are having your periods(menstruation). when you reach puberty it means that your body is almost ready for a baby. every month a blood layer is formed in your womb which acts as a house that will accommodate a fetus if ever you had sex and got pregnant. if not then the blood layer will disintegrate and come out as your periods and then it will be formed again and then re-disintegrate. this is and on going process until you reach menopause(time when you stop having your periods).
I had a tubal ligation using the hulka clips. almost 1 year ago. Now I feel like i have so many having pregnancy symptoms. Is that even possable?

What could be the reason an almost 47-year-old who had a tubal ligation 12 years ago would have the usual mild cramping but miss two periods?

If your 13 and your periods been late for almost 2 months now and your period first started 2 years ago and you know for sure your not pregnant because you never had sex is this normal?
yea its perfectly normal. its because your period is still new to you and its going to be irregular sometimes. when it does eventually come, it is going to be heavy flow. that's from personal experience =]
Can i you still get pregnant by yourself if you got pcos?
It will probably take longer to conceive if you have PCOS. Chances are your periods are irregular which means you aren't ovulating, which means you can't get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about how you can regulate your periods with diet and medication (Metformin is a common treatment). Clomid can also be used to induce ovulation. Don't lose hope though, you can get pregnant with PCOS, it just may take longer.

What should you do if you have been 'on your period' for almost three or four months?
Go to the doctor. Years ago I started my period at the beginning of summer and it wasn't until the end of summer that I finally told my doctor. For several months, I had to get a shot to start the period and another to stop it, so.. I had two shots every month for three months. After the third month, my periods returned to normal for a couple of months but following that I started getting my periods twice a year. It was a mess. Your periods will probably not stop on their own, you have to see your doctor because all that blood loss can lead to more severe problems.

Can a pregnancy happen with a tubal ligation tied and a partial hysterectomy?
This would be almost impossible. Although occasionaly tubal ligation can fail as in a vasectomy for men the risk is less than one percent. If the whole of your uterus has been removed then no you cannot be pregnant as there is nowhere for the fertilised egg to grow.
