missed period but had tubal ligation

My last period ended the 28th of October.  I had a tubal ligation after my last child was born.  last month and even this month I "felt" that my period was coming (small cramping), but it never did.  My breast this month are very very full and barely fit in my bra now.  I took a pregnancy test a week ago and it came up negative.  What is wrong?  Is this menopause?  I am in my early thirties.

I've had the Tubal Ligation back in 2003.  I haven't been sexual active in 13 years.  I am 50 as of September 2016.  My last cycle was September 29, 2016.  I have yet to have a cycle to this day.  What is going on with my body?  I've reconnected with my younger years significant other after 26 years.  Yes.. we have been intimate.  Am I going through Pre-menopause? I took a test and it came out NEGATIVE.. but as we all know everything (surgery), aren't 100&

I've had a tubal ligation (clamps) since late August 2007, now 10 years and 2 months later ( Oct 5 2016) I had a miscarriage. Currently I am having signs of implantation bleeding. I'm now 33 years old. It can happen, and does happen more often than not. Good luck to everyone! I will know soon if this is a "normal" pregnancy or EP.

I'm going through the same thing.  I had  my tubes burned in 2009  after my 3rd child,  it was the right thing I thought at the time but I was 22 with3 kids. I've been praying for another child and recently I've missed two going  on 3 cycles. It's just a spotty discharge no cramping or other symptoms of my cycle.  I've been so tired and moody and nauseous but I took am at home pregnancy test and it was negative. However I'm getting weird  feelings and things going on in there. I'm worried and I'm not sure what to do, I feel like something is going on but what I don't know I have been told really menopause can happen after a tubal.  But I'm only 28 , help I don't know what to do I have no health insurance! The only other thing i can think is that the cervical canc.. is back but I'm praying that's not it.
