pregnancy after tubal ligation

I had my tubes tied 11 years ago.  I have had symptoms of pregnancy for about a week and a half.  Bloating, constipation, throwing up, tender breasts, etc.  I had a blood test done two days ago that came back negative, but my period isn't due for another 5 days.  My last period came two weeks early and wasn't very heavy.  How often do tubes come untied?  And could I be pregnant even though the blood test came back negative?  Could have been to early for it to show even with a blood test, because I sure feel pregnant.

I had my tubes done in 2000 after my son. I only had the clamps, which had caused issues with my ovaries ever since. I just recently found out that I have rheumatoid arthritis and a few other issues, and I am on a lot of medications. I have always been regular with my periods. Mine last on average 3 - 4 days and are a light to medium flow. They have been since I started my period when I was 10.

Well this month, June 2015 my period started May 29, which was 2 weeks early and lasted 9 days, stopping on the 7th then last night on the 10th I had light pink spotting but when I woke up this morning it was gone.(sort of like implantation)

The past month I've been having a lot of dizzy spells swelling of my feet and really sensitive breasts. Everything I had with my previous kids, who are almost grown now. I never had morning sickness and I had my periods the whole time I was pregnant with them.

I am freaking out because I have no idea what to do. My doctor says she wont to a pregnancy test cause there is no way I can be pregnant after having a tubal ligation 15 years ago.

But my doctor did test me, 3 pages worth of things, like thyroid, arthritis, vitamin deficiencies, diabeties and all of those things and everything came back normal but my vitamin D was 2 when it should have been at least 30 and my calcium was really really low and I'm anemic. All things I had when I was pregnant, but she wont give me a test and I have taken 3 home tests and 2 came back inclusive and one was a really really faint line

Any suggestions

I feel all of you peoples pain I'm 30 yes of age and I'm in a great relationship with my boyfriend but he wants another kid and I can't give him a baby cause I got my tubes tied burnt and sperated I only have one child and she was a big miracle to my life when I thought I couldn't have a baby but I guess god proved me wrong. As it happened at my age of 24 I was pregnant with my first and last child and now that she is 5 yes of age I miss having another kid I made a huge mistake telling my mom and sister that I was scared to go through the family drama again of the Jerry springer show happening b4 my eyes as I was in labor with my child. Just to give all the younger first time mothers out there don't let us fear come b4 us happiness of wanting to be a mother for a 2nd time think b4 u choose what I did OK cause you might regret it down the road.

I have had my tubal ligation since 7-2012 I have not had periods since. I have been with my hubby since 1-26-2013 for the past week I have been very emotional like a dollar coaster and I feel like my stomach is a blimp and I don't eat much and my boobs are sore to touch. I was going by what my doc. told me I couldn't get pregnant. My question is can you after a tubal ligation
