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 a tubal ligation almost nine years ago and i wish i hadnt. I have two beautiful boys. they tell me everyday they would like a brother or a sister. God knows what is best though so if he wants me to have another one he will let me. i Hope he does. so God bless and thank him for the miracles that you have, even if it seems like a struggle, children are a blessing.

I also had my tubal when I was 27. I regretted every bit of it. I am 40 yrs old and in my 2nd marriage, my husband and I really don't plan to have a baby because we both have two sets of children! But I still feel guilty for having the tubal. I always advise younger ladies to ask their spouses to have the vasectomy because its easier to reverse if you want any more children. I feel your pain and don't feel silly for feeling this way..hugzzz.

UPDATE: I had a tubal ligation done a little over 1 year ago. 2 months ago I had all the pregnancy symptoms. Nausea, sore breats, fatigue, hormonal/emotional roller coaster, cramps, spotting, no real period, etc. My HPT and blood test were neg. I ended up demanding for a sonogram because I thought I was going crazy. Well, they didn't see anything.  I was not pregnant.  They did blood tests to check for thyroid problems, perimenopause, cysts, etc. All tests were negatives.  The Dr said it could just be an "off" cycle and everything usually get back to normal.  And it did. I'm back with regular cycles, normal period, and no symptoms.  However, I really kind of wished I had been pregnant.  But I'm really trying to get that out of my mind, knowing how impossible/improbable it is. I can't set myself up for disappointment month after month because I'm not pregnant.  I don't know why I feel this way....I've had my tubal ligation for over a year, never thought about it twice, knowing we can't handle a forth child....but now I find myself wanting to be pregnant again! I truly felt saddened by my choices.....I don't even want to ask God to grant us a miracle.....I'm scared I would just set myself up for disappointment after disappointment.....Anyways.....I just never thought I would go through this grieving/mourning phase about a tubal ligation and being finished for good....Good luck to all of you!

I had my tubes tied in 11 yrs ago but I recently started feeling fatigue and nausea and my face started breaking out with acne that I never had problems with before....could that be a symptom of pregnancy? I haven't had no test done yet.

I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Monday... I had a TL done in 2009... I now have Milk Leaking, Pain in my lower abdomen and I get sick to my stomach when I smell food. I will keep you posted...

I know it is possible to get prego after a tubal Litigation. Being sick at night is how I was with my first child. I have three now and I am 27 yrs old.
