i am 34 and had a tubal ligation 6 years ago. my period usually starts between the 22nd and 25th day of my cycle. the only times i have ever been late was when i was pregnant. i am now almost 2 weeks late. i was wondering if i could be pregnant or going through premature menopause. my maternal grandmother started menopause at age 36. she also has hypothyroidism, i don't know if that is a factor or not. i have had my hormones and thyroid checked within the last 6 months, and everything in normal range.

after my tubal ligation, i didn't have the mucous discharge in the middle of my cycle when i ovulated anymore, but about 2 and a half years ago i started having it again. not every month, but every few months. the tubal i had was the one where a band was put around my tubes. i don't know if that makes any difference or not. i would appreciate anyones opinion. thank you.
