Hi there,

Though tubal ligation is a very effective method, there are chances that it could have failed.

If you have missed your period then it is better that you do a urine pregnancy test ti rule out pregnancy and visit a Gynecologist.

If the tubal ligation has failed it may be possible that you could get pregnant, and also it could be possible that the pregnancy is in the tube which could cause complications for you.

Best that you see a doctor

Hope this helps.
Regards.
