You will have the cycles that God gave you, good or bad, no better and no worse than any other non-hormonal cycle. The tubal does NOT, REPEAT NOT alter blood flow to the ovary in any way, despite what you might have read in those websites purporting to expose the horrible medical experiment that unfeeling and vicious doctors are perpetrating on their unsuspecting and helpless female patients.

Since you have irregular cycles now, when you are not on the pill, you will continue to do so after a tubal. This condition will continue, worsen or improve based on factors unrelated to whether or not you had a tubal.

By the way, my wife, who is also a OB/GYN, had her tubes tied last week.
