Hello madam, from the history you have given, well there are chances of having ectopic pregnancy following tubal ligation though very less.I would suggest you to consult your gynaecologist,do a urine pregnancy test initially and if required an ultrasound to visualise the tubes to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Hope i was helpful to you.
