I have a normally regular menstral and this time is hasn't come on time and so far showing no signs of coming. I am more tired and peeing constantly. I feel like putting my bed in the bathroom. No cramps though and have been having some breast tenderness. I have heard of women getting pregnant after 5 years or more of tubal ligation. I did an hpt yesterday and it came back negative however could I still really be pregnant? My normal cycle would start between the 1st and 4th of the month so could it be to early for a hpt to read right or could I be getting a false negative? I have also been way more quick tempered than normal

It may be your period is yet to start and what you are experiencing are some premenstrual symptoms. Usually a pregnancy test would pick up a pregnancy as soon as a period is missed, but not always. For some women it will take a few weeks.
The odds are low of falling pregnant after a tubal, but it does happen.
Give it another week and see what happens with your period. Test again or see your doctor if still no period. Might just be skipping this cycle as well.
