Can I Get Pregnant After Very Light Periods Since Tubal Ligation ?
First off, I have a tubal ligation. My period at the beginning of January was very light. Seems to be that I'm menstruating again, but, it's only when I pee. Water doesn't turn red, the mucusy blood just sinks to form clots. I went to my Dr twice for this. First pregnancy test was negative, as I know the possibility is still there to get pregnant. Second time I went to my Dr with this new issue, Dr wants to put me on more birth control. Is the Dr insane? Anyways, does anyone out there know what this can be?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of conception after a tubal ligation are only 1-2 %. The absence of bleeding can be due to other hormonal causes also. Few tests are needed to find the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
