I had my tubes tied two years ago after my c-section. My periods have been normal since then. Well I have had 2 periods this month. I recently came on Sunday and I normally have a 5 day period. Well It lasted for 3 days. My stomach been upset for two weeks now. I feel flutters. I thought it was a stomach virus but its not. Could I be pregnant. Mind you my doctor has had patients with tubal and they came back pregnant

Mommy1983,

Thank you for your post.

Sometimes having your period twice a month can be a normal thing-- just as our body reacts to stress and overeating and can sometimes cause us to be late or skip a period. But what is it that makes you think you're pregnant? The stomach "flutters"? This can be due to a stomach bug, stress, or many other Gastrointestinal issues-- have you seen your doctor about this?
A shorter period than usual is most likely because you have already had your period this month. Aside from the stomach flutters, if you start to feel pain in the lower abdomen or in the pelvis area, lower back pain, or if you continue to bleed-- call your doctor since these may be symptoms of an Ectopic pregnancy. But as of now, it doesn't seem likely that you may be pregnant.

Best Wishes!
