Call your doc and see if that's a side effect of the tubal or if you need to be checked out.

There could be numerous reasons for your lack of menses.\nBest thing to do is go to the gynecologist and have some tests run.\nThe problem could be something very easily fixed with a one time treatment or prescription.  Please do seek medical help.

Yes- there are numerous factors that can cause a period to be late, and stress is one of them.  Other causes can be medication, hormonal imbalance, and infection amongst other reasons.  2 weeks after a missed period is the best time to be tested, and a blood test is so much more accurate so in 2 weeks time see your doctor.

Are you stressed out? \nLoose or gain any weight rapidly?\nare you eatting more or less fatty foods? \nYour cycle could be changing??\n\nThis happened to a friend of mine. Don't be alarmed this time if you miss it. However if it doesn't come next time. Talk with your doctor. Don't freak your self out, it will delay it even more. For peace of mind take a preg test if you haven't already. If it doesn't come and you are in no pain for the first cycle missed you are fine.

You say you don't THINK you are pregnant. I would get a test and find out for sure. If it comes out negative, then go to your Dr and have some tests run. If you are really stressed or very athletic, then you may just have missed your period.

I had a tubal in 2001, with no side effects.  Periods the same, libido the same.  I am happier not having to worry or think about getting a shot or taking a pill. Here is what some of the experts say:   \nSide effects after tubal sterilization are rare. While many women complain of pain or abnormal bleeding after the surgery, many of them were on the birth control pill previously, and this masked symptoms of hormonal imbalances. When the pills are stopped after surgery, the symptoms show up. In reality, the likelihood of menstrual disturbances or pelvic pain developing is no greater after tubal sterilization procedures than in women who have not had such surgery.\nRarely, adhesions form at the site of the tubal coagulation (not "cauterization," which would technically mean just burning the outside of the tube).  http://health.ivillage.com/gyno/gynobc/0,,5lj9,00.html\n\nThis site says there are a lot of side effects.  It sounds like they believe there is a conspiracy.  I am not sure where they have gotten their facts as they are not substantiated or sourced....http://www.tubal.org/campaginStart.htm\n\nRisks    Return to top \n\nRisks due to anesthesia include:\n\nReactions to medications \nProblems breathing \nRisks of any surgery include: \nBleeding \nInfection \nAdditional risks for tubal ligation include: \nIncomplete closure of the tubes, with possible continued fertility. Approximately 1 out of 200 women who have had tubal ligation will get pregnant. \nIncreased risk of an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy if pregnancy occurs after a tubal ligation. \nInjury to adjacent organs or structures caused by the laparoscopic instruments. \nExpectations after surgery:  Most women recover with no problems. There are no tests required to verify sterility.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002913.htm

If your tubes are tied you CAN get pregnant still but it is a low percentage of women who do get pregnant after getting tubes tied.\nI got my tubes tied 11 years ago and my period is ALWAYS messed up. I used to be regular and knew when it was comming, now; I can go 3 months without having a period. It's crazy and it's scary and it really sucks. If you don't have your period 2 months straight, see your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong. Good Luck.

If you've had a tubal ligation (the correct technical term) that stops the eggs from being released into the uterus. The uterus reacts to your hormones fluctuating monthly, preparing for pregnancy, then when nothing happes, shedding the excess lining. Tubal ligation doesn't interfere with the monthly hormone shift - it is a mechanical barrier towards pregnancy prevention.

You should check the threads of your coil, you should be able to feel the ends of them high up in your vagina. It's HIGHLY unlikely that the coil has moved to another area of your body. If you can't feel the threads, it's more likely that your coil has been expelled from the uterus during a recent period. You should probably see your doctor for a checkup, and to see why you have missed your period though - there are a very few occasions when woman can become pregnant even with a coil, and if this is the case it's important that it's discvered early in the pregnancy.

Your ovaries will continue to work just as if you never had your tubes tied. You will ovulate, you will have monthly cycles (sorry, I hope you weren't counting on being done with periods).  Your hormones will still be ebbing and flowing just as they always did. You just wont have to worry about being able to get pregnant anymore.

if you're not pregnant, you should go get a check up.  they will probably run some blood work and possibly put you on birth control.  its not normal to go with out your period.

due to stress.... hormonal changes.....  if your period had been on time and you skipped one... jus wait for a few more days then see a doctor

Well you skipped just one period. That happens to me sometimes, but I just got mine like two years ago. It usually happens when I am very active or something. So maybe your body just shifted its timing  or something. but if it worries you, just see a doctor.

Because they just cut and tie (or cauterize and tie) your fallopian tube. Your menstrual cycle is caused by the lining in your uterus being expelled... just a different part of your anatomy. A hysterectomy can be done to remove your uterus, ovaries, pretty much everything... a hysterectomy is what stops you from menstruating... or menopause will too I guess

If there hasn't been intercourse, its highly unlikely your gf is pregnant. Sperm dies pretty quickly on contact with air and you'd have to have SERIOUSLY strong sperm to get through 2 sets of clothing!\n\nA missed period can be caused by lots of things other than pregnancy - has she been ill recently, or changed her diet? Is she stressed or worried about something? Has she been taking a new medication, or lost or gained a lot of weight?\n\nIf she is truly worried about pregnancy, she should buy a home test if only to put her mind at rest. Then, if her period hasn't arrived by next month and there still hasn't been any risk of pregnancy, I'd suggest she goes to the doctor to get this checked out.

It sounds just like pms and regular periods that a woman with a uterus and ovaries would have.  It could be the hormones.  The same type of thing happens sometimes when you miss a birth control pill and have to double up or change pills.  Have you spoken with your doctor about it?  It could be a symptom of something serious.

it depends.  if you have missed a cycle here and there then the one(s) you missed have caused endometrial linning to thicken. so for example, if you missed two periods and then have one on the third month, your period may be heavier because you have three layers built up and sometimes it sheds all at once causing a really heavy period to last more than 2 weeks or sometimes it sheds in peices causing clots.  you may need to see your gyno they may give you the pill to help stop it or they may give you provera, which is like a chemical DNC that will help clean you out and if that does not stop the bleeding you may be looking at having a surgical DNC. if it last for more than 30 days you need to be seen because your CBC count may be low.(Complete blood count) this can be dangerous. you may feel faint, dizzy, tired, and sometimes you can pass out. this happened to me a few years ago, I bleed for 3 months. I passed out and ended in emergency having a DNC. you can also develop anemia and low iron.
