well I called the doctor and the nurse kinda laughed at me.. told me that I might just be late and call  monday  if I dont get it.. So I took the lovely pre test again this morning and still neg...Im worried.. I just had a baby 11 months ago c-section and was reading that the failure rate is higher if the TL is done csection.. I dont know what to think.. I have never been late other that the four pregnancy... I do belive miracles do happen..my four child is proof of that.. I had a DNC, tubes flushed, uterus scraped and burned.. All while three weeks pregnant with him.. They also did a urine pregnancy and that came up neg..the only thing that saved him is he was still in the tube... I believe in miracles but am worried... Thanks for the help.. still not sure what to do anymore advice id love to hear.. good luck to u and keep the faith..

Yes, pregnancy is a possibility, but doctors would love you to believe it's not because I was told the same thing and I did become pregnant 7 years later, but m/c at 10 weeks, possibly due to low progesterone and are hoping to conceive again.  I would suggest having a blood pregnancy test done, it seems to be the best indicator for pregnancy as research has shown that some women only test positive through this means after having tubal ligation surgery done.  If your not pregnant, I would suggest having your hormones tested and an ultra sound done to see what's going on.  GOD BLESS!!!
