I'm having pregnancy symptoms—is it possible I could be pregnant even though I've been sterilized?

I'm having pregnancy symptoms even though I'm sterilized.

Sterilization is extremely effective at preventing pregnancy, and is intended to be permanent. Nevertheless, about 5 of every 1,000 people who use sterilization become pregnant within a year after the procedure and that small risk remains until menopause. So, if you think you might be pregnant, you should take a pregnancy test.
