43 Yr Old. Had Tubal Ligation, Removal Of Ovary Previously. Now, Missed Period. Premenopause, Chances Of Concieving?
Hi there, I am 43 years old and had a tubal ligation approximately 15 years ago....I had one ovary removed due to a cyst . I had a healthy normal baby one year after that and mostly regular 28 day cycles. I have missed a period this time , almost 10 days overdue. Is this premenopause? Do I have chances of still conceiving ?

Hi,
If you had tubal ligation after removing the cyst and delivered a baby, then, you have chances to conceive.
It is normal to get irregular periods for many factors:
- stress
- hormonal changes
- other organic disease
So, you can take the pregnancy test, if negative, then, it is due to hormonal changes. Can measure the hormone levels in blood.
All the best!
