Could I be??

Oh gosh, coming off birth control is a nightmare! I had terrible symptoms the first 6 months. My boobs would get huge and I couldn’t wear a normal bra because they hurt so much. I felt awful. I would say that that’s 100% the reason for you feeling like crap

Now it all makes sense. Coming off the pill can play ABSOLUTE havoc with your body. I bloated, had pains, cramping, sore boobs, back ache. Everything. It might be that your period doesn’t turn up on time either. I waited 50 days. Good luck!

This many days ahead of when your period is due, it's very likely that what you're experiencing is hormonal imbalance from coming off the pill. It can be similar to pregnancy symptoms but pregnancy symptoms this strong would come with a positive test.

Hi OP, just to say that coming off the pill can screw with your body big-time!! I came off it in August after over 2 years on it from having had my daughter (had been on it 6 years prior to having my daughter). The month of August I felt all sorts of symptoms, including nausea which I'd never had as PMS before. It made me wonder if i'd fallen pregnant already but i hadn't. I had a 36 day cycle (was previously 28 days) and then my natural period came. But I did have all sorts of waves of nausea etc which was weird for me pre-AF. So it could be that your body is just adjusting to coming off the pill and you will soon get your natural AF.

Any news Franyjayne? Hoping your get a BFP!

Any update OP? How you feeling?

Like other ladies have said, you aren’t experiencing pregnancy symptoms. I’m not entirely sure how a GP would test to see if you had a bug or not. But for argument’s sake let’s say they do, then it could be a number of other things that’s causing you to vomit. Reflux for example. Also just an fyi, I’ve had that sickness bug that does the rounds every winter and I was vomiting water that hadn’t even gone down my throat yet. I know you said that you don’t think it’s to do with pregnancy but the title of your post suggests that’s what you do think/hope. It’s entirely possible you are pregnant but the symptoms you’re experiencing now are nothing to do with it I’m afraid. If you had pregnancy symptoms that severe, you’d already be getting positive hpt’s. Hope you feel better soon!

Wow your GP sounds worryingly incompetent. She's getting your hopes up. Like Purple said it is pretty impossible that you will be getting morning sickness only a day or two after ovulation (if you've been being sick for a week already). The egg and sperm will only just have begun their journey to your uterus. Even if hCG was being produced (which it isn't at that stage) it wouldn't be in a large enough quantity to cause morning sickness. Do you feel nauseous inbetween eating food? Or is it just when you've swallowed something? If the latter then definitely wouldn't be morning sickness and would sound more like a bug. Best of luck OP

Implantation doesn't happen until at least 5 days, and normally closer to 7 days, so you wouldn't have such strong symptoms yet. I had all those symptoms last month and it was just PMT unfortunately, despite the fact that I never usually have those symptoms. There is a progesterone rise after ovulation, which means the signs of PMT and the signs of AF are very similar. If wait until much closer to your AF due date and then test.

Just noticed missed the word "started" in my post. The vomiting would have started just after you ovulated.

If it's been going on for over a week, the timings make even less sense for it to be pregnancy related. It would have (assuming a standard cycle) just after you ovulated. I can't understand why any gp would let a person think the most likely cause is pregnancy in the circumstances you've described.

If you’re having symptoms you’ll have enough hormone to show on a test. Honestly it sounds like you have a bug.

Symptoms only start at week 5 when the sac forms. It’s very unlikely or rare before then. And certainly not that violently that you can’t eat or drink.

Please don’t test again until you’ve missed your period. It won’t help either way. Xxx

Sorry if it feels like I'm disagreeing with everything you've said. I'm medically qualified and a bit concerned you've got a bad gp or totally misunderstood what they've said to you.

I mean it’s not got to my stomach. Literally 5 seconds after drinking something it comes back up

It only takes a few seconds for food to reach your stomach. If you've drunk something and it's come back up five seconds later, it was in your stomach first.

If you are pregnant enough to be vomiting everything - and most people aren't at 4 weeks - I think you would be getting positive tests, because quite a high HCG level is required for that degree of sickness.

I think you've either got a virus or eaten something that disagreed with you.

What do you mean "not from the stomach"? Where did she/you think it is from?

Vomiting soon after eating is sometimes due to an ulcer. It can also be caused by anything that inflames your stomach (such as a bug) plus other things too. Just because no one else has it doesn't mean it isn't a bug. Your gp sounds like they need to go back to medical school.

If you don't start feeling better soon, go back and see someone else. Get well soon, vomiting is miserable.

I'm just quite surprised she would say it didn't sound like a bug because there is a sickness bug doing the rounds and being sick really commonly due to a bug. Usually when doctors say they don't think it is a bug, they'll tell you what else they think it is.

It's too early to feel sick and there IS a bug going at the moment. Surgeries don't test. They will on occasion but you're really expected to buy one. Get a First Response pink dye and test on the day you're due. Good luck!
