Hello,
Tubal ligation and tubal implants are not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. The failure rate depends on method used and several other factors. There is a slight risk of becoming pregnant after tubal ligation. This happens in on an average in 5 out of 1,000 women after 1 year. After a total of 5 years following tubal ligation almost 13 out of 1,000 women can become pregnant. Pregnancy may occur if the clips were not placed correctly or a new passage forms that allows an egg to be fertilized by sperm. Ectopic pregnancy can be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated. Consult a gynecologist and get the necessary investigations done. Other causes of missed periods are stress, hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders and ovulation dysfunction. Hope it helps.
Best wishes and regards!
