I had the clips put on my tubes in April 15th 2011, since then everything has changed... My period started April 27th and ended a few days later. When June showed up I was 6 days late but did get my period very heavy yet only last at the very most beginning of the third day... towards the end of may I started having lower right abdominal pain. I took over a two week period approx. 13 pregnancy tests. From clear blue to first response to dollar store to everything. All of them took forever to answer a negative. I have never had a problem with the answer coming up right away I have been pregnant 4 times. Only was able to have 1 live birth the first time I ever conceived. I don't know what is going on I moved to a different state since then and there are NO doctors around here familiar with the F clips. I would prefer not to have to pay out my butt going to the emergancy room any one have a possible idea of what it may be. The pain does not continually stay it comes and it goes yet every time it comes back it is ten times worse... Please help me!

I will assume your F clip is the Filshie Clip

Clips: Clips clamp the tubes and inhibits blood flow to the portion, causing a small amount of scarring or fibrosis, in turn, preventing fertilization. The most commonly used clips are the Filshie clip, made of titanium, and the Wolf clip (or “Hulka clip”), made of plastic. Clips are simple to insert, but require a special tool to put in place.

And I have to say I have a hard time believing that while not the most popular method ( that is cutting) but this is a know method. And a ER doctor will not be up on this specificly, but any Obstetricians and Gynecologists should know the side effects of tubal issues.
