the surgery can sometimes fail, and when it does, it can sometimes lead to ectopic pregnancies (in the tubes instead of the uterus), which are very dangerous for you. so definitely check it out sooner rather than waiting to see. better to just know.

Hun, tubal ligations can fail. I have a few gf's that this did happen to. If you are wondering, get into your doctor. Here is a some info I found on a website. The link is: http://www.sogc.org/health/health-tubal_e.asp#fails

_____________________

What If Tubal Ligation Fails?

It is possible to become pregnant following tubal ligation. The failure rate is low at 2-10/per 1,000 women. There is no 100% guarantee for any form of tubal ligation. Should you become pregnant, you will usually have a normal pregnancy. However, you have a higher chance of a tubal pregnancy (ectopic). Signs that you have a tubal pregnancy are pain on one or both sides of the lower abdomen; pain and spotting after a missed period; a very light period; or feeling faint or dizzy with pressure on the bowels. Should you have any of these signs after a tubal ligation, you should seek medical help as soon as possible.

Read up on this and really, think about talking to your doctor directly. Look after yourself and don't depend on a pregnancy test. Let your doctor know what you are going through. She/he will be able to help you with your questions better that we can. Good Luck.
