Late Period, Spotting After Exercise, Bloating, Tiredness. Negative Pregnancy Test. History Of Tubal Ligation

I am 44 years old. I had a tubal ligation performed 12 years ago after the birth of my twins. I have always had very regular periods. Now I am 7 days late. I did spot a little after exercise once. I do not have any extra stress in my life. I eat healthy and exercise regularly. I feel bloated and tired. I did a urine pregnance test which came back negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Hello,
To know if you are pregnant or not, please perform a home pregnancy test.
The chances of pregnancy after 12 years of a tubal ligation , are very very low.
Probably the altered period pattern, alongwith the tiredness and bloating, could also be peri menopausal changes.
Rather than performing a test at home, please consult a gynecologist so that the exact diagnosis can be made.
Take care.
