Is There A Possibility Of Getting Pregnant Having Tied The Tubes Twelve Years Ago?

I m a little confused. I had my tubes tied a little over 12 years ago. The past couple of weeks I have been feeling ran down, very sleepy, sick but nothing that stays all day and tonight when I got out the shower I was leeking creamy whitish looking milk. I wiped a few times and still a little wet. Could I be pregnant?

It is extremely rare to get pregnant after having your tubes tied, but not completely impossible. I assume when you say that you were leaking milk that you mean it was from your nipples. this needs to be checked out by your doctor, because it could be a sign of a hormonal imbalance such as high levels of prolactin or thyroid hormone. this may be related to your physician symptoms as well, so I suggest that you get this checked out. Your doctor can also test you for pregnancy just to make sure that isn't the cause, or you can use a home pregnancy test if you really feel like you might be pregnant. though it is rare, it is not impossible.
