What Causes Fatigue,weight Gain,bloating And Headache?
I had a tubal ligation 16 years ago, I have fatigue, weight gain of about 5-8 lbs over the last 2 months. My belly is bloated(cant really suck it in) my bra, panties and clothes are all snug.. and I have ringing in my ears and a headache. Could I be pregnant? what are the chances?

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. There are very low chances (approximately 0.2-0.3%) after tubal ligation.
Weight gain and bloating can be due to many other cause like sedentary lifestyle, less physical activity or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism.
I would suggest you to get your urine pregnancy test done if your periods are delayed.
If negative, then do consult an endocrinologist to get properly examined, investigated and treated.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
