Driving myself round the bend - help!

[MindfulMummy]

Hi all... I'm new and am in need of some support/advice....
My partner had the snip 2 years ago I am not due on until 25th but I feel pregnant! (Have 3 children so know what it feels like!).

Symptoms are pretty textbook: sore/'fuller' boobs, nausea, overly sensitive sense of smell - going to fridge/changing bin makes me feel sick, mega-emotional.... all tests (I have done 3!) are all bfn which I guess is to be expected as I still have 7 days until af due!

What I want to know is surely if the preg hormone is strong enough to give me symptoms, surely it should be strong enough to show up on a test - or doesn't it work like that??

I know it is highly unlikely and it was not in our plan so I've not got my heart set on it but I am starting to get used to the idea and was gutted when the FR test I did today was bfn.... any advice out there?

I realise that I prob sound a bit nuts as I would have had symptoms since just after conception but I know my body and it feels different..... Been to see gp just in case there was something I was missing but she practically laughed in my face and said it was probably a virus :( Thanks ladies xx

Hello OP
found you in unanswered so thought I'd rescue your thread.

Can't help i'm afraid, except to say I had a gut instinct with ds the day after dtd, and was completely right.

Hi,

I'm in exactly the same boat as you! Same symptoms, 7dpo, af due 25th!

I believe hpt can't give BFP until at least 3-4 days after implantation which is anywhere between 5-12 dpo. Hope that helps. Please do let me know how you get on!

Thank you ladies.... It's still a mystery although my symptoms have changed slightly - my boobs are now back to normal (!) although the crushing nausea and insane tiredness persists..... Do you know if the boobs thing can be ovulation- related? Never noticed it before and neither has oh -it was the one thing that convinced him more than anything else that we might be pregnant as the difference was quite significant! Am so confused... Can you give me a hand with my dates to see if I am expecting af at the right time please as I don't want to drive myself mad! Lmp period started on 28th Dec and I have a regular 28/9 day cycle. Ovulation is less predictable though as I conceived ds1 (now 16) on the last day of my period..... Not charting as not ttc and like I said oh had the snip 2 years ago so is highly unlikely. Really appreciate your support and advice. Keep me posted on your progress too, Emma :) Good luck xx

mindfulmummy How are you feeling?!! That's amazing you conceived ds1 on the last day of your period!! I didn't even know that was possible? Right DH.... we're back on it!! None of this DTD just during the fertile week malarky!!
