Help please

Ok, i had a tubal ligation done 12 years ago with the falope rings. I am 38 years old.  Now i have not had my period since march 6th, the middle of march after my husband and i had sex i just spotted very little as soon as we were done and nothing since. So i did a few pregnancy test (Equate brand) did one 3 days ago and got a faint possitive, then today and a very faint possitive. Some times i get a pain in my left side, alot of lower back aches and some lower abdom pain,but not bad pains.  Sometimes in the later afternoon or evening i get a upset belly. So could i be pregnant????

       Thanks for any help

Well we wish you lots of luck!! Its possible that you are preg.  Im surprised they didnt do a u/s right then.  If its transvag you can see a sack at least if u are 4 wks preg. Please keep us posted next week on the results.

I asked the Dr when I would know and she did not give me a deff answer.. just that  I would know either when the blood test comes back or the day of the ultrasound.  I don't know what to think... I thought it would have been a yes or no as soon as she did the pelvic exam... I am just worried it will be negg.. then i will have to have a tubal reversal..

Thank you for the sticky dust :) hope it sticks lol

I went to the Dr's yesturday and while she was doing a pelvic exam... she said she was going to order a ultrasound... that is scheduled for this tues... and a pregnancy blood test... then saying while we were walking to the desk. might be pregnant, we will see if the blood test comes back first or by the ultrasound....i'm thinking what!  She must not have been able to tell from pelvic exam.. hmmm ..but she did not say i was'nt eaither....Then she did the the reg one year pap and said smileing this might make u start your period and well it never did...no clue what to think of this... i am praying it is possss :)    

         P.S. I guess waiting a few more days won't matter ...yeah right...lol

You didn't have your tubes cut, tied, and burnt so it is possible. I have heard of false negatives but not a false positive. This may seem strange to you but I have  heard of this happening before so its very much possible.
Let us know what comes of it.

Usually a line, is a line...no matter how faint...but since you've had a tubal ligation, that does sound a bit strange. If I were you, I would set up an appointment with your doctor so they can do a blood test. Good luck!
