    Is it possible to become pregnant 7 years after having tubal clamps?
    I had my tubes clamped 7 years ago but I am having pregnancy feelings but have not had a missed period yet it is not due for another week and half. I have headaches, mild stomach cramp, swollen feet, nausea, tired more than normal and sometimes a light vaginal discharge.

    Yes, it happens - it just seems very early for some of your symptoms (such as swollen feet) to be caused by pregnancy.

    The only way to know, of course, is to miss a period and test.
