Hi,

Thanks fort he query.

If you have had scanty menstruation and a weak positive test, chances of pregnancy are there. There may be a missed abortion or a tubal pregnancy can also produce these symptoms.

Pregnancy is possible after tubal ligation as rarely the ligated ends reunite and may give rise to pregnancy.

Other causes may be a false positive test [happens sometimes] or a hormonal problem.

I suggest that you get a transvaginal ultrasound done to clarify the situation.

Hope this satisfies your query.
