Hi,
Though rarely, failure of tubal ligation( recanalization) is seen. ( failure rate being 2-10 per 1000 cases)
IN your case the symptoms you are suffering may be due to irregularity of menses due to hormonal imbalance OR pregnancy .
You can exclude pregnancy by blood HCG testing.
If the test is -ve, take Norethisterone 5mg pills, 1 twice aday for 3 days . it will be followed by withdrawal bleeding.
Please consult your doctor for detailed examination & advice as per need.
Thanks
