Like the doctors below, you'll need the pregnancy test. If you are not pregnant, there is a reason your body is not cycling normally. Your OB can evaluate this, but her recommendations are likely to be drugs with side effects. I find that they don't address the underlying cause---something triggered your body to not have a cycle, either pregnancy or something else. Was there a stressful event 4 months ago? Breakup with a boyfriend or husband? Death of a loved one? Significant diet change or illness? Your naturopathic doctor can help get things back into balance and find the cause.

If a tubal ligation or implant (such as Essure) fails, you are at increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. Commonly, ectopic pregnancies can occur 3 or more years after the tubal ligation. Abdominal pregnancy (a rare type of ectopic pregnancy) can occur after the failed tubal ligation. This is when the zygote is inplanted not in the tubes, but on the round ligament, peritoneum, culdesac of Douglas, omentum, mesosalpinx, liver, or spleen. In any events, please take a pregnancy test and see a doctor ASAP for sonography. Good luck.
Yes, you could be pregnant. There is a known failure rate associated with tubal sterilization. Although it is our best form of contraception, there are occasions when women get pregnant later on. You should do a pregnancy test and if it is positive, you should see a doctor right away as there is a higher risk of it being a tubal pregnancy. Of course, there are other reasons women miss their periods, but pregnancy should be ruled out.
