Hi I had a tubal ligation done 2 1/2 years ago while after a c-section and now my breast are very tender, I have leakage from both breasts, I am very tired all the time, and frequet urination! I have had non protected sex with my husband numerous times. Is it possible I'm pregnant? I'm not late yet but I have always had early symptoms with my other children before I was even late..

Hello,

With tubal ligation, chance of being pregnant is almost rare (0.4%). Sore breast is due to progesterone hormone and above features may correspond with PMS.

You need to undergo one routine urine examination and blood prolactin level to check for underlying pathology. After that, you can consult with gynecologist.

Here, you wait for next coming period. Take healthy diet with complete avoidance of salt/ tea/ coffee for 1 wk prior to period, avoid mental stress, drink more water, maintain genital hygiene and wear tight breast support.

Good luck.

thank you for using health care magic
well chances are less of being pregnant with tubal ligation but its not impossible.. there is about 0.5% failer rate of tubal ligation...
i will suggest you to wait till your normal period dates.. if you dont get your period take pregnancy test and consult gynecologist.. be aware some times results of pregnancy tesr can be misleading so dont trust it blindly
