Not to worry. Do a pregnancy test and keep track of periods.
There is not enough information to make a diagnosis. Likely causes:

1. Anovulation...a common hormonal aberration that causes the ovary not to ovulate, thus preventing normal menstrual cycles.
2. Complications from the tubal ligation...causing adhesive disease that may cause sticking or binding of the intestines causing cramps and pain.
3. Pain and cramps could be caused by pelvic infection.

Again, there could be other explanations, but there is not enough information here to make a diagnosis.
