thinking I am nuts.....

Ok here's the thing, when I was 23 I had 2 kids by 2 different fathers and thought that I didn't want to have any more kids. So I had a tubal ligation. Then I met my now DH. For about 3 yrs I had it in my head that I would have a tubal reversal, and we could have another one. Well that thought died the more independent my kids are getting and the older my DH and I get. Until recently, when I don't think AF has been to visit since before June 7, (I remember because we took a trip to New Mexico, and didn't need to bring anything with me). Normally I pretty regular, will be late a few days one month and early by a few days the next, but nothing to really worry about. But now that I haven't had AF visit for nearly a month and a half, I am starting to worry. My BB's are very tender, at first I thought it was because I was going to start soon, but usually they only hurt like when I take my bra off, just sensitive enough to let me know that AF is just around the corner. Right now they are sore like all the time, so now I am thinking I am nuts. When I was pregnant the other 2 times I didn't have many symptoms except the missed period and tender BB's. So here I am 5 yrs after my tubal ligation and if I didn't know any better I would say I am pregnant. Can someone give me some insight on this?

I too had a TL (tubal ligation) 5 yrs ago. The way they do them these days it's very hard for them to grow back. I just recently had a TR (tubal reversal). You could be having PTLS (post tubal ligation symptoms) or just stressed. Or AF is just coming late this time. I noticed after having a TL as the years passed my periods got wacked out. They are finally somewhat normal. So, I seriously doubt you are pregnant. Just relax and wait.

Well I know that my OB/GYN only clamped mine. So the chances are higher, not that they are high anyway, oops no they aren't that's if you have it reversed, but...also could endometriosis have anything to do it with it either. Over the last few months I have developed this also. But don't know much about it. Only have read a little about here and there.

ok so here's what I have so far...Figured out that i did have a period on Jun 17, and that would make me about a week late now. I do have a slight pain in my lower pelvis on the right side.., so don't know if it could be a tubal pregnancy or a UTI.
