Hi,
The chances of pregnancy increase as years go by when tubes are tied. You did not say if it was your usual date when you had your bleeding. You should perform a pregnancy test and if the result is ambiguous, go for a trans-vaginal sonogram as in the event of pregnancy with tubal ligation, chances of an ectopic pregnancy are high. Contact your health care provider for further support. Good luck.
