Pregnancy symptoms-help!

Just after some opinions, or preferably facts if anyone has them!How soon after conception is it possible to have symptoms of pregnancy? Have 2dc already, ages 7 and almost 4, and we have been ttc for 6 months now-which has been a surprise as both others dc were 1 shot wonders, much to dh's despair! Obviously I know I'm a few years older, and has taken a while for cycle to settle after coming off contraception. The thing is,since yesterday I feel pregnant....but we only dtd twice in last 7 days as dh was away for work the week before that, and I had a very heavy period. I have had that general bone tiredness and constant low level nausea since yesterday, and my boobs are definitely tender! I have been eating well, sleeping fine and exercising as normal. I'm not telling anyone that we are ttc, and also dont want to sound like a right eejit asking anyone if it's possible to have symptoms within a week, as it just seems daft! I just have this feeling that I am. I didn't think it was worth POAS yet as so early. Any thoughts??

I did start getting mine early as in it was just before my period was due again , getting worse as the weeks have went on, i knew i was pregnant before doing a test.
If u did it in your fertile time then i do think u could feel things early on even tho im sure dr's say we wouldnt but we know our own body and when things are changing ,we are all different.

I suddenly came over really sick whilst out a week after we dtd. Based on my dates it must have been when I conceived.

Considering I had Hyperemesis last pregnancy and have it again now, I'm 100% convinced that was my first symptom. There's no way anything else caused me to suddenly feel as ill as I have during these pregnancies.

All you can do frustratingly is wait a bit longer to test.

Thanks for replying! I've had such a difference in my cycle the last 6 months since having the coil out (cycle lengths between 21-35days)that I'm not really sure when my fertile time really is angel. I had only finished my period the day before so I guess not. Oh dead that sounds awful. I never had hyperemesis,just a never ending cycle (really truly never ending, as in no let up AT ALL) of low grade nausea that got worse or better,with some vomiting almost daily, or terrible heartburn. Was just as bad with both pregnancies. My boobs felt a bit sore putting sports bra on before going to circuit class yesterday morning, didnt think much of it,then in the last 5 mins of class I had to stop as just had a wave of nausea and thought i was going to be sick,which just really hasn't went away! Going to be a nail biting 3 weeks til next period due! Hope you get some reprieve from the symptoms Dead.

Thanks Spinning I'm on meds which helps the sickness but been admitted 2 times so far and am sick every few weeks or so for no reason so it sucks.

If it helps, my mum had a period so thought she couldn't possibly be pregnant, but found out she was when she had me (as in, she'd dtd then a week later had AF but found a few weeks later she was pregnant) so there's still always hope.

As for the waiting... yeah, it sucks. For 2 months I was certain I was pregnant then the day I found out I was, I was convinced I was about to start a heavy period. Coming off of contraception or just getting periods back to normal after a birth and breast feeding can throw all your senses off.

Fingers crossed for you.
