General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
welcome to HCM

Its my pleasure to help you out.

According to your history tubal ligation is done 2 years back and now you missed your periods.

See ectooic pregnancy is a complication associated with tubal ligation procedure but your Urine pregnancy test is negative so most probably you are not pregnant.

In such cases I usually recommend Thyroid function test and ultrasonography of abdomen and to find out the cause of missed period.

Treatment is according to cause.

Hence I would suggest you to visit your gynaecologist for further evaluation and management.

Thank you

Regards,
Dr.Om
