Could I be pg after a tubal?

Well...I'm two weeks late but I had a tubal after my baby was born 10 months ago. I've been reading up on it on the internet and it says that their have been tubals that have failed when given during a c-section and I had a c-section. That is when I had mine done. When should I start testing? I'm always as regular as the day is long. And I've been having some weird symptoms. For instance, I was really weepy for a whole week, I'm constantly cold and then hot and I'm not running a fever, and I'm moody. I'm not having night sweats or hot flashes so I know its not menopause. I'm 38yrs old but I'm not having any symptoms that would lead me to believe its menopause. I've read up on those too. Am I just being overly worried or is there a chance that I might be.

If you're 2 weeks late, you can go ahead and test.

i know 3 ladies that have gotten pregnant after a tubal. i've also heard there are 2 types of ligation...one is more effective and permanent than the other, but technique varies by doctor.

I agree. I don't want anymore right now either. I've called my old doc to find out exactly what kind of tubal that I had done at the time of my c-section. I'm waiting to hear back from them. I also scheduled an appt with a new gyn b/c I moved just to make sure their isn't anything going on that I'm not aware of. I'm going to take a test this afternoon once my oldest dd gets home. I don't want to take my two little ones to the store to pick it up. Anyway, let me know what happens with you. This is really scary for me b/c I got pg on bc with my 2nd baby. I told my dh last night that if I'm pg after having a tubal then he is getting a vasectomy and I'm not touching him again....lol. I mean this is ridiculous. I thought the worry was over. I can't really afford another baby. Not to mention I don't know if my nerves can handle it. I have a 16yr old dd, a 2 1/2yr old, and a 10month old. My nerves are already shot. But add another into the mix. I just don't know how some people do it. But if I am...then I guess I'm going to find out and I'll make do the best that I can. I love my kids; they just make me nuts sometimes. Thanks for the chat though. I'll go take a test today.
