pregnancy after tubal ligation

[wmc45887]

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.

Have you done a pregnancy test?

Hi. I had my tubes tied when after I had my son in 2001. My periods always come every 4 weeks on the day. This month, never received one.
MY breasts are sore and tender, I have lower ab pains, and just slightly started spotting but not a period. Have been peeing alot and sometimes nacious. I will be 44 in less then 2 weeks. I had 3 kids. Any advice?

WOW!!! It's all I can say....I am flabbergasted at your story....never heard anything like this! Praise the Lord!!!

I almost feel stupid writing about this.  I think I might be going crazy. I feel so silly.  I have been feeling some symptoms of pregnancy, but now I'm not sure if I'm making myself feel these symptoms or if they are real.  I had a tubal ligation 1 year ago.  I have been feeling on and off nausea, difficulty digesting, some on and off tingling in my breasts, but not really soreness.  I had my period, but it lasted only 2 days instead of 5 days - it was abundant 1 day (not just spotting). BUT, what makes me wonder is that on top of the on and off nausea and breasts and headaches, my middle child (I have 3) has been soooooooo clingy to the point of not wanting any of the other kids to touch me, I have to eat holding his hand.
I took 5 HPT and 1 blood test and they were all negative. Am I going crazy??? Is it secret wishful thinking? I know I probably can't handle another baby, but deep down inside would really want to be pregnant....Does that make sense???

I'm 37 years old with two kids...an almost 16-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son.  I had my tubal after the c-section delivery of my son...on March 14, 2002.  I was 26 at the time.  That was 10 years, 5 months ago.

Three years ago I also underwent Ablation surgery in an attempt to eliminate my heavy periods.  It didn't completely work, though it didn't make them easier.  (NOTE - a 100% success rate with this surgery also eliminates any chance of getting pregnant again).  But, like I said, mine wasn't a complete success.

Now, I find myself nearly 2 weeks late for my period, which has arrived like clockwork for the past 25 years.  The only two times in my life that I've been late, I've been pregnant.    My cycle is so set in stone that my husband is already convinced a baby is on the way.

I know the failure rate for a tubal is low, but it does happen.  And that would be just my luck.

There is a HPT in my immediate future...God help me.

It looks like this is a really old thread of conversation. I'm curious how things are turning out for your mom though.... did she get positive confirmation of a pregnancy? I'm in my late 30s and have had 3 kids and now suspect another pregnancy after having my tubes ties over 4 years ago.
