vk - April 8

I have no idea what is going on.I started, it seemed normal, then stopped, started, stopped, started, still with the cramping. still with the pain. smells are bugging me. this morning I started puking, though I dont feel sick, like the flu, at all, just puking. I feel terrible, and very tired.

I had my tubes cut & burned in 1998 after the birth of my 2nd child. I since remarried my middle school sweetheart. We have been married for 5 years and I want so much to give him a child. He is a wonderful dad to my 2 children. I will be 31 this year and I feel it is now or never. My periods are every 28 days like clockwork. I was due on April 5th and its still not here. I hate getting my hopes up because it generally leads to disappointment so I usually put off getting a test. But it feels different this time, I'm having all the symptoms. Any ideas/thoughts from someone who has had the same experience?

babieluv- i had the same experience last month, it ended being nothing. i hope you are , i am remarried and had my tubes reversed then tied again. it is a wonderfull feeling, i loved being pregnant and was hoping i was last month. i am going on 35 in sept. and think i am to old for kids now but it would definately be a blessing. let me know what turns up. don't wait to long in case it is a tubal preg.

I just wanted to post and say how much I appreciated being able to read everyone's posts and contributions to this thread. The idea that maybe a lot of us feel like this because we've had our tubes tied really kind of rang true to me. I had my tubes tied (not sure to what extent - clamped, cut or burned?!?) in 1991 after the birth of my 2nd child. I am now 37 years old. I've had irregular periods the last couple of months and now all of a sudden I want absolutely nothing to do with chocolate or my favorite Starbuck's coffee - in fact, it tastes awful to me - like plastic. I had the same aversion to coffee/chocolate during both pregnancies and had forgotten - when I told hub about my aversions he reminded me. I am scared about the possibility of an ectopic pregancy but in some ways I think I'm even more scared about NOT being pregnant. I bought an HPT today and will take it in the AM. I think this "am I preg" "am I not preg" yo-yo that we women get on is the only part of the tubal that I enjoyed. I am one of those women who would have been thrilled with a dozen children, but we stopped at 2 because we were both very young and knew we couldn't afford any more. We could now - but in some ways I was looking forward to the (many I hope - lol) years ahead of grandchildren and retirement. lol Whatever happens will happen - just wanted to make sure I posted a big THANK YOU to all the women who began this thread back in 2004. It was very helpful.

I had my tubes clipped in 1997, in 2004 I went to the Doctor because I wasn't feeling "normal", my period was only one day and extremely light. My Doctor didn't consider pregnancy even an option and only did the blood test to humor me. She was shocked when she called me the next day to tell me I was indeed pregnant. After the birth of my daughter I had my tubes redone. But now just over two years later I'm feeling those tell tale signs of pregnancy and I'm a few days late. If I don't get my period in the next few days it's off to the doctor for me.

I have been wondering the same thing. From what I have found out it happens pretty frequently. What I want to know is how much of a chance is there for the pregnancy to make it?

I had my tubal after my son was born four years ago. My last cycle was April 19, 2006 and here it is May 24, 2006, my b___st are tender and I guess I may be to scared to get tested fear of what the answer may be. I do know if the Lord sees fit to bless with with another child I would be very happy.

I had a tubal in 2000 after my C-section for my daughter. Now I am having pregnance symptoms. sore b___sts, and I feel movement or flutters. I took 2 hpt and they were both negative. Does anyone know what else would cause stomach flutters besides pregnancy?

I had a tubal WAY back in 1983, doctor used silicone rings not tying them or burning them, as he said i was young as I was only 24. I am now 48, and i have had normal periods and no hot flashes or any of the other perimenpaosel or other symptoms. But I have had that awful nauseau that we all only know is the prego nausaeu. My lower ab is getting distented from the lower uterus area, and my bladder is taking a beating, Oh i have missed my last 3 periods, and this hasnt happened before. I have had no heavy periods like they refer to before menapause, but okay i missed march completely. Then in April when i should be getting my p, I spotted ever so litely one day which happend to me in my second preganancy WAY back. And again in May same time of month the light spotting just like when I was pregnant 22 years ago with my last child. I dont know what to think. I had been separated from my husband, and we reconciled in February after 8 months being apart, SOOOOOOOOOO I hadnt had s_x in awhile, like not normal for myself and him. Im thinking oh no I am having a late pregancy. As my first cousin had her last at 47. I am in a new state and dont have a doctor yet, so I am so so so scared. My husband would be thrilled but its not his body you know, and I would be very scared, but yet dont think Im ready for menapause as all I read up on it, it seems horrible like it takes over your life. But if it is I will deal you know either way. Right now i am just scared. Havent done a home pregnancy test, probably stupid but I am scared, one way or the other, who knows im thinking what if its something even far worse???? I am waiting for my new insurance and would just like any input I can find as I have to wait 3 more months, but if it turned out Im prego, my husband would set me up with a doctor and pay of course. Sorry this is so long all, but Im just very scared and very confused as all friends have different answers or horror stories for me. So thanks for reading and again sorry its so long.

I had my tubal done September 26th, 2003. I was about 8 days late and decided to take a pregnancy test. Of course it was positive. I went back to my ob that did my tubal and the baby is in my uterus. Guess next March I will be having my 7th child.

This is scaring me. I had a tubal done a little over a year ago with my third c-section. If I got pregnant right now it wouldn't be the end of the world, I could learn to enjoy it. BUT, I'm scheduled for an endometrial ablation (a procedure where they burn the entire endometrium- because of abormally heavy bleeding every month) and the pamphlet about it said after the procedure it is possible to get pregnant and have the pregnancy implant, BUT is dangerous and devastating to mother and baby!! I know with tubes tied + this procedure, the chances are low, but I do heal incredibly well and hope my tubal doesn't heal as well as the rest of me!! I mean I've had three c-sections and don't even have a scar!!! I'm debating about it, but I think I want my dh to have a V, just in case. Yikes!!!

I have now learned that anything is possible. I have done my fair share of cring but what can I do. I was blessed with this child so I will once again put my plans on hold to care for another child. I have always heard that God will never give you more than you can handle. I truly hope that is true.
