Is it possible to get pregnant so soon after copper coil?

Last week (7th Jan) my copper coil fell out after being in over 3 years. DH and I decided it was a kick in the right direction to try for number 2, and so chose to come off BC all together and said although we wouldn't actively try, we'd not discourage it either and see where that got us.

Obviously with not intending for the coil to come out, we haven't been paying attention to my cycle, but I've worked out i'm due my next period Tuesday (14th Jan). DH and I had sex 31st Dec, 1st Jan and 9th Jan, and I would've ovulated 30th/31st Dec.

The last two days i've been feeling really nauseous and irritable. I'm getting a dull ache in my lower back and i'm peeing really frequently (sorry tmi). I didn't get any symptoms at all with DS until I was 10 weeks.
On Friday I got impatient and took a test. It was negative, but I know it was probably too early.

I really didn't think it'd even be possible for me to be pregnant this month, being as my coil didn't come out until a week after i'd ovulated. Does anyone know if it's even possible?

Has anyone else had symptoms like these, and did you turn out to be pregnant or not. Or has anyone had the copper coil come out like this? I've googled and found it to be a fairly common thing!

Thanks.

I don't think you should be PG with the dates you've said. However, you can't necessarily be sure when you ovulated. Maybe for some reason you ov'd late this month, after your coil had come out, and then you might have got PG. Unfortunately the only way to know is to give it time - Either AF will arrive or you will get a BFP (although if you're going to POAS I wouldn't do it until at least 2 weeks after your coil came out so as not to get a false negative).

FWIW, I have had all the symptoms you mention above and more, and have never turned out to be pregnant. But obviously some people with these symptoms will be.

All the best.

Yeah you could be Wink if the coil was t in the right place... And it can take 9-12 days for the egg to travel down the Fallopian tubes and implant in your uterus, by which point the coil wouldn't have been there to stop it... So it would be a miracle of timing but it's not altogether impossible! Poas on the 14th!!
