Brief Answer:
See your OB/GYN immediately

Thanks for contacting HCM
I see that you have done as asked by your last question to get a pregnancy test. Your test was positive. The urine pregnancy tests are fairly accurate and until you get a blood pregnancy test or a another urine pregnancy test done by your doctor then you could be pregnant. Since you had prior tubal ligation there is a chance that the pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy. If that is true then you could have serious complications.
I recommend that you seek medical attention today or tomorrow and have the pregnancy test repeated. If still positive then get an ultrasound to determine if this is an ectopic pregnancy.
Good Luck
