I have had my tubes cut and burned three years ago and my period is a month late. I had cramping but no period and took a home pregnancy test and negative. What could this mean?

Hello,
Tubal ligation, regardless of whether the tubes are cut, burned, clipped, banded, or tied, is about 99 percent effective, meaning that about 1 percent of women will conceive an unplanned pregnancy after tubal ligation. This failure occurs slightly more frequently in younger women and after 3 years of tubal ligation.
The tubes have evolved in such a way as to try to heal themselves (like when the ends are cut and sutured,they may rejoin after sutures dissolve), and sometimes a tract(mostly endometriosis) develops that allows egg and sperm to meet. Hence there is an increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
