About Kristy Expertise I am a midwife, and have been for the past 10 years. I can answer most questions starting from pregnancy symtoms, right up to labour and delivery. I am able to recognize pregnancy related issues, from mild, to serious if given the symptoms. I am also keen on other health issues dealing with the female reproductive system, that may or may not be pregnancy related, and can give advice in that area as well. I am also a mother of two small children and will share my experiences with one text book pregnancy and delivery, as well as a very difficult pregnancy and delivery I experienced. Not only am I educated in this area, I have personally experienced the joys, and obstacles of this area as well.
Experience In my early years, I practiced in the labour and delivery ward of my local hospital. I was an R.N.A.
I later returned to Univeristy, and studied to become a midwife.
Education/Credentials 2 year nursing course, at the University of Toronto.
2 year course in Midwivery, at the University of Toronto.
Question HI I am 30 years old and received a tubal ligation in march .I have had three miscarriages not late term and one tubal pregnancy just last januarary.I have one wonderful eleven year old little girl.What my question is I had a period last month that was late, and only two days bleed.I did bleed good but not for a real long time and my breasts are still sore i took a preg test it showed a very faint line am i crazy or could I be pregnant or have miscarried again
Answer Hi Lynn,
Your chances of becomming pregnant are about 1% considering your had a tubal.
Your tubes are basically cut, tied, and burnt making it virtually impossible for egg to meet sperm, and it eliminates the possibility of tubal pregnancy as well.
I would definaltly see your doctor about this. Now its not absolutely impossible, but its EXTREMELY rare. So if you are pregnant, its basically a miracle, and your tubal was not done properly.
If you got a postive test result to your test, and are experiencing pregnancy related symptoms, its essential for you to see your doctor. Even though you have had a bleed, its abnormal to what you are accustomed to. Definately, make an appointment and have yourself evaluated to see whats going on with your cycle.
I would be very intrested in knowing how this turns out. Please let me know :)
