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 tied 10 years ago after I had my daughter. For about a month I've been having pain in my belly button. Last night I notice I have a sting hanging from my belly button. What is it?

I had a tubal ligation done in 2009 after numerous miscarriages. I also had polystic ovaries with endometriosis. Lately, I don't feel myself-very moody, tired, exhausted and emotional. I skipped my period now for almost two months and really busy freaking out for the possibility of being pregnant. I have nausea, vommitting, back aches and the whole tootie galore of pregnancy. The smallest thing irritates me and just can't stand being around food. I am afraid of doing a test or even go see a doctor. I want to be but also very fearful of finding out it is not so. Please anyone , is it possible or is it just my mind playing games?

Hello, I am 38 years old and had my tubal 17 years ago. I am a grandmother of two. When my latest grandchild was born 17 month ago I got every stinking sign of pregnancy including the missed period for like 2 months. I was freaking out. Went to the doctor and determined it was just hormones. Shewww. Now my last period (not trying to be gross) was extremely thick and lasted seven days verses my normal 5. I'm getting older so I figured it's just my uterus cleaning itself out real good. Anyway, On Sunday (homemade biscuit and Gravy day) I took a bite and about vomited. Could not eat it at all. My breast are feeling full and weird and I have had major bloating and gas. I stay sick to my stomach most of the day but noticed it's not as bad if I eat smaller meals. I have bouts of extreme moodiness and am tired all the time. However, it's the not being able to eat biscuits and gravy that is really bothering me and making me wonder if I am pregnant. I hope not, I am too old but I love being a mom and it would truly be a miracle if I was. It could just be the start of menopause. I am due to start again in a week or so, I guess then we will see. I wish you all the luck, and remember everything happens for a reason.

My tubes been tied for 8 years now. Unfortunate I did not want them tied in the first place but due to all my children born premature and via c-section the Doctor said I HIGHLY recommend a Tubal Ligation. I still wasn't OK with it but my HUSBAND at the time said go ahead. My cycle normally comes every 28 days well starting in Nov. it came on Thanksgiving the 28th then in December it came on Christmas the 25th then for January it came on my 40th Birthday 22nd and February it came a little more early and came on Valentines Day. So here we go MARCH no Holiday nor Birthdays and according to my last cycle I am 5 days late. Not to mention in February I notice after my cycle I had a little pinkish discharge I went to the Doctor to check for STD's and that was all NEGATIVE so I continued on. But now my breast is so tender I couldn't even wear a BRA to work today. I been having unprotected sex with my fiance every since he proposed in October. I have 3 grandkids, 4 kids and now 2 stepdaughters and he do not want kids at all. I'm having mixed emotions and so nervous right now. I do not know what to do...
