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 also had a tubal 12 years ago. My tubes were tied, cut and cauterized. I am now almost 42 and 6 months pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I have a child heading off to FSU this year and a baby on the way. CRAZY!! I am extremely excited to start this adventure all over again but it was an absolute shock. I honestly didn't even think it was possible but in just my Dr. office alone there is another pregnant mama that had her tubes tied. I'm thinking the odds aren't quite what the surgeons suggest they are.

I had my tubes burnt 10 months ago when I had a C-section. my periods have pretty regular starting every 30-32 days. But now I have not had my period since Nov.28th. I really didn't think a whole lot about it until I started searching the other night and now have read SEVERAL stories where women have still gone on to get pregnant.

Hi. I'm a 35 year old mother of 2.For the past 4or 5 months, I have been having pergnant symptoms. Breast really sore,movement in my belly,gained 30lbs,and pain in my lower back,and both sides of my tummy.I had my tubal done in Jan.2004.I have had some of my friends feel my belly and one of my friends said she could feel something in there.I hope i'm pergnant cause i would sure love to have a little girl to compelete my family. I was pushed into having my tubes tired,by my family and in-laws.Also my hubby doesn't want anymore kids.I hope the good lord above will bless me with a gift.I do want this so bad. I go to the obgyn on the 6th of Jan. and hoping they will do a ultsound on me cause i have missed to cycles as well with the other things going on with me.I see all of your post on here and see it's possible to become pregnant after tubal.So i'm keeping my hope up that i'm one of those women to get that wish. Thanks all. Good luck and god bless.
