Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Irrespective of the mode of contraception, if you have missed periods, please take a pregnancy test and see. It could be that you are pregnant despite tubal ligation in 1996.
If this is negative then other causes of delayed or missed periods will have to be looked at such as stress whether emotional or physical, hypothyroidism, polycystic disease of the ovary, pituitary tumors secreting prolactin, anemia and poor diet, hormonal imbalance, unexplained or sudden weight gain or weight loss. You will need to consult a gynecologist for this.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!
If you think you have a chance even slim to be prego take a home test because it could be in the tubes and this is dangerous. It does happend to women who are tied sometime.
