Yes, you could be pregnant. Go to the doctor and be sure that they do a test as my surgeon told me that they are only 97% effective. However, most women if they do get pregnant end up with a tubal pregnancy and that can be dangerous to you so I would say go make an appointment now with your doctor.
Good luck and please let us know what you find out.

Yes, it is possible. My sister did. Now that was 20+ years ago and procedures may have changed since then, but my sister did get pregnant and because her tubes "were tied" the egg remained in the fallopian tube and was then considered a tubal pregnancy and had to be terminated.
If you think you may be pregnant, see your doctor. Even vasectomies can come undone.
