Aoa
even then do ur UPT/Serum bhcg...if it comes out to b negative then attend to ur attending OBG...
tc
dear even after ligation,there are chances of conception so plz first rule out pregnancy.. and if its negative then u can use medicine for withdrawal bleed.. and if its positive then plz dont take escitalopram or any other antidepressant.
thanks
U should get ur serum BHCG and ultrasound pelvis done and consult a OBGYN consultant
Thanks there is less chance you are pregnant as tubes are blocked the delay in periods may be due to drugs
