About 1 out of every 350 tubal ligations "fail", resulting in pregnancy. Of those, 60% are an ectopic pregnancy, which is life-threatening if not treated. Please, everyone be careful and see your doctor, especially if you are cramping alot. An ectopic does not usually release as much hormone, so a home pregnancy test might not detect it.
I too am feeling crazy for thinking I may be pregnant. I had a cut and cauterization over 5 years ago, but the last week I have been experiencing symptoms that, in the past, I have ONLY experienced during my first weeks of pregnancy..boobs hurting, crying at everything, nauseated. I am either pregnant or crazy...heck, maybe I'm both! :-)
