Is It Possible To Get Pregnant Post Tubal Ligation?

Good afternoon Dr. I am very concerned about my health. I know my body & have come up with the diagnosis that I am pregnant. About 5 months. All the urine & blood tests have shown negative. I had a tuba ligation, tubes were burnt, & cauterized; back in 2001. What could be happening with my body?

HI,
I understand your concern.
After tubal ligation there is a very rare chance of pregnancy due to possible re canalization of tubes,
But in your case , when blood & urine tests for pregnancy are -ve, you can not follow your own instinct about pregnancy blindly. The pregnancy like symptoms are seen in many other conditions including hormonal imbalance. Please consult a gynecologist/ get USG abdomen done --which will be full proof diagnosis of your condition.
You will then be offered specific treatment for your health.
Thanks.
