Get a pregnancy test ASAP. Possibilities include: ectopic pregnancy, salpingitis, salpingoophoritis, ovarian cyst, or colitis. The cause (or combined causes) could be determined after the pregnancy is either ruled-in, or ruled-out. You can still have regular periods for 3-5 month if you have ectopic pregnancy.
Very unlikely for the

tubal to come undone.
Interrupting the Fallopian tubes by whatever means is never a 100% measure. Even without insurance,u can walk into any emergency room of any big hospital and they have to check u

If your OBGYN won't see you because you don't have insurance, call Planned Parenthood or try the clinic at the nearest hospital with an OBGYN clinic.

One of the largest studies ever done looking at the chance of pregnancy after tubal sterilization procedures showed that the chance of failure is as high as 1 in 30! So yes there is a chance of pregnancy. The problem is it's nor that the tubes 'come untied' , it's that when this does occur, the pregnancy gets caught in the fallopian tube, and starts to grow. This is called an ectopic pregnancy, and it can be potentially life threatening. Have a blood pregnancy test and talk to your OBGYN. It is also possible that you have an ovarian cyst that has ruptured and/or hormonal issues that are affecting your menstrual cycles.
