I have 2 boys age 14 and 15 had my tubes tied during c-section on my second child. I now have weird feeling in my belly. i feel it move sometimes but i thought gas or something. i am bloated, feeling hungry all the time like my stomach feels empty. lower back pain. i had my monthly period June 10 but only lasted 3 days my periods usually last like 7 to 8 days all the time. i feel tired and with other 2 pregnancies i never got nautious and i dont have that now i just feel weird. Im going to make a doc appt for this Saturday but need a ease of mind for now. Im diabetic and sort of hoping i have worms or something else. Im 33 years old and dont want another baby in my life right now

Realistically, some tubals aren't done correctly and can result in accidental pregnancies. I don't know how common this is, but I'd say it's not very common. So is it possible you're pregnant? Yes. But most likely you aren't. However, you could guy yourself a cheap HPT just to ease your mind.

i also remember getting my tubes clamped and not tied. I remember the doc told me im to young to have my tubes cut and tied and burnt and he would just put a clamp on. Does that make any diference?

I feel your worry!!! I'm there with you. It IS possible to get pregnant after a tubal is done -- it pretty much comes down to tubal regeneration. It's not always the fault of the surgeon who performs it, but the chances of it happening at all are supposedly slim (1-3%).

I also understand that about 50% of failed tubal ligation pregnancies are ectopic, which is the point I'm stuck at and not sure what to look for. The cauterization would have done a better job of being permanent, but the possibility is still there that regrowth can occur. If you want some websites, I have three hours worth of bookmarks I decided to keep when I couldn't sleep last night. Let me know and I'll get them from work tomorrow.
