Question
I had my tubes cut and burnt 13 years ago. Now I am feeling like I am pregnant. Morning sickness, weight gain, heartburn, tenderbreasts, fatigue,mood swings. Can I be pregnant?
Dear Melissa
It is a very remote possibility that you are pregnant after 13 years of coagulating your tubes.
Having a transvaginal ultrasound is the best way to exclude pregnancy. A home pregnancy test can be useful if you are 2 weeks late after your missed period.
Good Luck

Expertise
I can answer questions about antenatal care, medical problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum care.
Experience
Currently I am working as a Professor of Obstetrics gynecology, Menofyia University, Egypt. Since 1987, I worked in many university and private hospitals with a high load of pregnant population averaging 7-9,000 deliveries/year. This exposed me to all problems associated with pregnancy, labor and delivery. I had my doctorate degree in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1996 in the use of Doppler ultrasound in high risk pregnancies.
