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 had my tubes tied last year in march everything was good up till now. May I had a period on the 13th, June 13, then july 11. all lasted 6-7 days, Ive always been regular 28-32 day cycle. This month August I was suppose to get it on the 8th but never did now I am 12 days late and have alittle cramping by my ovary area, hips. I had all the signs af was coming the week before the 8th but nothing came. This is not like me to miss this many days, I have been tracking my cycles for 3 years. this is the first time that I have ever been this late. I took 3 clue blue digitals 15,17,18 all fmu and all negative. what the hell is going on grrr. HAS ANYONE GOT PREGNANT OR FOUND OUT THEY ARE AFTER TUBAL LIGATION.

I got my tubes tied after my 3rd child. Its been 2 years now. I have had my period every 28 days for 6 days. But this month it was late by 4 days and it was light almost nothing and it lasted 3 to 4 days. I have been feeling a lot of cramps, lower back aches, tones of headaches, tender boobs, nausea, body temp up and down, a lot more tired then usual, some time dizzy/fatigue, and more. What do you think it could be?

I am in the same boat i always was on a 28 day cycle before my tubal ligation after my 2nd child in 1997 After that i gradually went to a 25 day cycle like clock work with some months of mid cycle spotting now i am 39 ..(40 in sept) and i am at least 3-5 days late no discharge no spotting nothing no period symptoms no pregnancy symptoms. i think i am overly worried but what could it be. I have not taken a preg test yet but i am sure i am not.

I am 27 and i had my tubal last year. I haven't had a period in like 5 months.  i have frequently started to have pain in my abdomen!  its freaks me out sometimes.  i stay really sleepy during the day but can't sleep at night. its crazy and i do feel moody at stupid times.  i don't know what it could be but it is kind of comforting to see that others are experiencing the same things. if anyone finds out a reason plz let me know!

Hello everyone! I have read so many posts about tubes tied, light or late menstrual cycles and possible pregnancies. Let me just say that "IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM...GO GET A PREGNANCY TEST ASAP! After my third child,I got my tubes cut, burn and destroyed. Approximately three years later I found out I was pregnant.I had the same symptoms most of you described. It was a shock to me and the hospital doctors because although my tubes were NOT ATTACHED, the embryo was implanted normal in the uterus and growing normal. After two months passed, there was no heartbeat so the doctors had to take the baby. All I can write is...PLEASE take a test or go to the doctor. Your overall health is important.
