I know i sound like a teenager whose like "omg im pregnant i soooo do not want this ... but i secretly do so people will be shocked" but i have been having the same feelings for the past few days as when i was pregnant with my DS, i'm extremely dizzy, my boobs are tingly, i don't really feel right in myself, i'm getting extremely irritated for no reason and i'm getting these sort of butterflies and a spasm that goes up through my chest and my head and when i'm lying down i can hear it in my ear as sort of a second (very strong, one-off) heartbeat every now and again, but i know it's not mine :/

It has only been a week since i last had sex and the first time in 6 months (because DP and i live apart) but I'm freaking out, I have even taken a test and it came up inconclusive! I mean not even a negative! which is driving me even more insane. The other problem is that, as i have said before, me and the DP live apart, i'm starting uni in 2 weeks time and DS has only just started school this week. I guess i'm just venting as there is nothing me or anyone else can do for a few weeks but is it even possible for me to tell i'm pregnant so early on?

What's an inconclusive test?

Theres a "control window" on the stick and if the line doesn't come up in there after 10 mins then the test hasn't worked :/

I think it is possible to start feeling something a few days after conception. However, the heartbeat thing is definitely wishful thinking - the foetal heart doesn't start until the 6 week mark.

yeah, i think i worded that bit wrong really haha i did feel almost like my lower half had a mind/body of its own and it was working over time, almost like a spasm sort of thing. To be honest i can't really explain it, it's just an extremely weird feeling, although i could just be worried or indeed hopeful, in not completely sure :/

As Euro said, the heartbeat does not start until around 6 weeks, so you are definitely not "hearing" a foetal heart.

As for the test, the embryo does not start producing HCG until after it has implanted at about 7/8 days after ovulation. It then takes time for the levels to build up enough to be picked up by a home pregnancy test. The levels do not normally reach a high enough level until 12 dpo.
