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 am about to be 41 yrs old in December. I have 3 children, ages ranging from almost 21 to about to be 11. I had a tubal ligation done in 2003, to where my only tube was clamped. I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured in 2001 and then a miscarriage in 2003. Recently i had not been engaging in sexual intercourse up until July. Since then i have not had a period. This month makes 4 months. Im experiencing all kinds of pregnancy syptoms. No syptoms of menopause. Is it possible that i may be pregnant after all these years? Oh and my tube was clamped. Not tied or burnt. Please help. Im worried because of my past history.

I am praying with you. I know how scary and hard it is for you to want to give him a child and the fear of not being able to do so. God bless you. I pray that he opens your womb and gives you all a child.

My fiance and I are getting married either this week or next and I have children who he has all but adopted, but he has none of his own to carry out his legacy. I experienced light spotting today, a week before my period. I have been really tired, and moody too. I have had a few odd cravings-like an ice cold fountain drink or a pulled pork sandwich from SUBWAY-but nothing that would make me think anything until now. Should I get my hopes up? I really want to have his children, but I too underwent tubal litigation 7 years ago and I have been afraid that I would not be able to have his little ones.
