Hi,
Thanks for the query.
As you underwent tubal ligation there is less possibility for pregnancy.
If you are breast feeding your baby that can be one cause for your irregular periods.
You better consult gynecologist once and get examined, undergo ultrasound.
By this the possible cause of your problem can be identified.
If needed your doctor may recommend thyroid profile to you, as thyroid hormonal abnormality can also cause menstrual irregularity.
Take care.
