I posted this in the maternal and child care section but this is obviously the better forum for this kind of inquiry.
I am a 34 y/old mother of three young boys. I had a tubal ligation performed in 12/2004, when my youngest was about 6 mos old. My tubes were cut and cauterized. Although I initially regretted the decision, I have grown to love my growing freedom and love the ages that my boys are currently at. So currently, the desire to have another one is not there! In addition to having the tubal ligation, I have hypothryoidism (which is known to cause irregular periods) but I have gotten my thyroid levels under control and haven't had a problem with irregular periods for quite some time now. (I also had recent thyroid labs performed and I am right within range so... I don't know...)
Anyways, I am now a week late. The only time I have ever been late is when I was pregnant. I keep getting all the feelings that my period is about to come and then... nothing. I usually get my period around the 14th, though in May, I got my period on the 14th and then again, for just 2 days, at the ends of the month/beginning of June. That has NEVER happened to me in my entire life. I have been reading about failure rates for tubal ligations and see tons of questions posted about it but wonder how many people it actually happens to?
Thank you in advance for all responses.
