If you have had your tubes tied going on 8 last month a normal period only spotted for 3 days This nothing Do think could be pregnant?

If you had your tubes tied going on 8 months ago, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. While tubal ligation is considered to be a highly effective method of contraception, there is still a small chance of pregnancy occurring, albeit a very remote one. The reported failure rate of tubal ligation ranges from 0.5% to 1% within the first year after the procedure and increases slightly over time but still remains quite low.

Since you mentioned having a normal period, although it was only spotting for 3 days, it is more probable that these changes in your menstrual pattern could be attributed to other factors such as hormonal fluctuations, stress, certain medications, changes in diet or exercise routine, or underlying medical conditions. Hormonal imbalances, in particular, can cause alterations in period length and flow, including instances of spotting or shorter/lighter periods.

If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, the best course of action would be to take a pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests are widely available and can provide a reliable result within a few minutes. They work by detecting the presence of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced during pregnancy. If the test result is positive, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider for further assessment and care.

However, if the pregnancy test comes back negative and you experience ongoing changes in your menstrual pattern or any other concerning symptoms, it is still advisable to consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
