Is Pregnancy Possible After Tubal Ligation?

I had my tubes tied 3 years ago after the birth of my son. I got my period 2 days ago and tonight I noticed it’s very vibrant red and quite a few clots. I have had unprotected sex with my husband as I wasn’t worried about getting pregnant sincey tubes are tied. Is it possible I could be pregnant ? Or is clotting normal ? I’ve never clotted during a period before

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* There are remote chances of tubal ligation failure and getting pregnancy. But in your case, as there is period with few clots, chances of hormone imbalance are more likely than pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
