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.

Were you pregnant? I'm looking into these things because I too had the same procedure 18 years ago and my monthly in September was 5 days late and only spotted. I have pregnancy symptoms and would like to know what your outcome was.

I am 44 yrs old and a mother to 6 children with my oldest being 26 1/2 and my youngest being 10 1/2. i am also a g.ma to 3 with 2 more on the way, my issue is that i had my tubes cut/seared/clamped back in 2002 i think the whole works cuz i am way to fertile. Any ways i am now 18 days late and yes i know the whole menapausal thing but i have absolutley no symtoms for that. After my last period dec. 3 i guess during my ovulation time my breasts got severely sore and THEY NEVER DO OR DID BEFORE. I dont care if i am going into menapause becuz i hv had no preefects but i am terrified of being pregnant at my age even though i am healthy.

Have you had any symptoms of pregnancy? If so for how long? I had my tubes clamped 5 years ago due to the fact my hubby (now my ex) didnt want anymore children. Usually my PMS symptoms are similiar to pregnancy symptoms and can start two weeks before I am due but cease when I start. This time they are worse and have lasted long after I have finished. I have had my last three periods but they have not been normal. I have been told it could be the start of menopause. I get blood test results back today. Here's hoping that its not menopause, I dont believe it to be.

I can truely understand what you are saying.  I am 37 yrs old my youngest is 13 I had my tub tied twice 2 months after him and then 5 years later they came a loose and my ex-husband suggested getting them retied and of course thinking marriage is forever did it out of love for him.  I was thinking I would be with my first husband for ever however, it ended in devoice when my son was 6.  I am now remarried I desire with all my heart to have one child by my husband now.  I wouldn't tell anyone women to have tubal ligation because you never know when you want another and can't because of the tubal ligation and reverse is to much $$$$.  I am currently 4 days late no period yet inwhich I am 26-28 cycle like clock work.  I hoping and praying it is a positive pregnacy test.
