Could I still be pregnant if...

So, I had Mirena put in after my son Benjamin was born in 2009 and it came out in May of this year because I was having some side effects that I didn't really like. I was gaining weight, my emotions were all over the place, I was so depressed that I actually had to start seeing a therapist, and sex became very uncomfortable. I didn't think too much of the Mirena coming out because I left the father of my children and met someone else. This "someone else" is still with me and he had a vasectomy before we even met. So I didn't worry about getting pregnant again when my Mirena came out. I've always been a faithful person and would never cheat on my significant other. I haven't had a period now for 40 days. I've had a loss in energy, I'm tired a lot, my breasts are tender, I've had a little nausea at night, I had increased urination for a couple weeks, and I've also had this recent habit come about where I wake up and immediately want to eat something. My boyfriend just recently informed me that after his vasectomy, he never went back to the doctors for the follow up visit. I'm terrified to take a pregnancy test because I already have two toddlers and my boyfriend has four children of his own that are all under ten. We've talked about having children later when all the kids are finally in school, but we're afraid this might be too soon. So my question is, could I still be pregnant if all this is happening?

yes you probably would have. but you might have a hormone imbalance anyway that maybe has nothing to do with the mirena coming out or you are pregnant. worrying about this will keep it from appearing too you know.

Thanks for the comment matey1982! I do plan on taking a test in about a week so I can give my period a little more time to show itself. I don't really think it could be problems with my Mirena being out though. It came out 5 months ago so wouldn't I have had problems long before now?

well id say yes maybe because your partner didn't go back to see if his vasectomy was successful and you say all the symtoms. then again it cud be a hormone imbalance due to mirena coming out so you won't really know until you do the pregnancy test.
