Hello,
Thanks for posting your query. In the current scenario, it is unlikely that you could be pregnant since you had a tubal ligation. There may be a transient hormone imbalance which is self-corrective and your symptoms are possibly premenstrual. Also, home pregnancy tests cannot read well before 3-7 days after the missed period. For an earlier and better clarification, you can get the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres. A sonogram of the pelvis, preferably in the trans-vaginal route clarifies the issue. Hope this helps.
