I had an endometrial ablation last year. How can I test for pregnancy when I don't menstruate?

    IANAD but it seems common sense to assume that if you're not menstruating, you're probably not able to get pregnant.

    If you had an endometrial ablation last year, you should not be able to get pregnant at all.

    In this type of procedure, the uterine lining is lasered (burned) and then scraped. There would be nowhere for a fetus to attach until the uterus repaired itself, and that takes longer than a year.

    If you are having periods, that is an indication that the uterus has regenerated and there would be a possibility of pregnancy.

    I had the same procedure done 9 years ago, and haven't had a period since...

    Call your doctor with these questions. I think your doctor would have the most sensible and CORRECT answers for you, hon.

    You pee on the stick and if your body is producing enough pregnancy hormone it will show positive.

    do you have sore breasts, funny taste in your mouth, a stuffy nose, a delicate tummy? our greatgrandmothers had to wait till they couldn't close their belt to find out, a pee test will work almost instantly.

    If you don't menstrate you are not ovulating, therefore you probably are not pregnant.
