I just got married a month ago. We're not TTC right away. I'm not on any contraception and haven't been for a year, we use the withdrawal method and it's been totally fine so far. But of course after the wedding we were at it a bit more than usual but I did get my period half way through the honeymoon although it was a day shorter than usual but right on time arrival. We did have sex again a few times after that but I've been really under weather last couple weeks so we haven't during that time. I THINK I ovulated about a week ago as I get ovulation pain and this was a week ahead of normal schedule but we hadn't had sex for a week at that point. But oh my giddy god have I been having ALL the symptoms in the last week, aching breasts which is way too early for my normal premenstrual ones, nausea, strong sense of smell, fatigue, loss of appetite etc so I took a test on Monday and of course it said negative. I was in hospital wednesday as I took a very scary out of the normal migraine which left me losing a lot of sensation and strength on my entire right side of body. My normal migraines are linked to my cycle and nothing like what this was, they took me in thinking I had a stroke which luckily of course it wasn't. Of course I had lots of blood tests during this time and nobody came to me with any results telling me I was pregnant which I'm sure would have shown up in whatever testing they were doing. But then I don't know how quickly those results come in and I did tell them I took a negative test a few days before. But today again I have every bloody symptom, I'm lying here sick to my stomach, have only nibbled at food all day and my breasts are killing me and I've had to take 3 naps! I don't know how I could be pregnant but I swear to god it feels like my body is trying to tell me I am.

I feel like I'm nuts!

Yes it is possible you might be pregnant.
The withdrawal method isn't reliable.

What number7 said. Leave it a few days and test again

We know it isn't, and it's not a big concern for us as although we're not actively TTC we would be quite alright if we did. It's just the timeline and probably isn't adding up considering all the tests and yet my body is telling me something else. Even my ovulation tests came back negative which I take to help manage my migraines.

They might not have done a beta hcg blood test in hospital which is how they test if you are pregnant, especially if you had said you had had a neg pt at home.
If you tested last Monday I would test again today. I hope you are feeling better soon either way. Good luck

It's possible - but the hormones that give nausea (I'm currently suffering heavily with) are the same hormones that give a positive on a pregnancy test.

I did start to get nausea at 5 weeks which is very early but I think the very earliest could be 3.5 weeks (which would generally be 1.5 weeks after conception)

IT's far too early to say.

I got a positive ovulation test today which makes little sense as I got ovulation pain over a week ago (I didn't have any tests at that point) . Definitely taking another pregnancy test tomorrow as I know ovulation tests can show positive for LH surge due to pregnancy also.

Have taken two further pregnancy tests and both negative. But my god do I still feel totally out of sync with my cycle, my boobs are aching so badly and gone up a full cup and a half which is normally my obvious PMS signal a few days before AF but according to ovulation tests I've just had my two peak fertility days yesterday and today. The only change I can think of is I started taking evening primrose and starflower oils again and I don't know if they are impacting how I normally feel again. I'm going to need to test again anyway in a couple weeks though as we DTD the night before I got the positive peak test as I thought I had long since ovulated. Goodness I am so all over the shop.
