Is it possible to know this early!?!?

I feel like I'm going mad! I really think I conceived recently i.e in the last week, I have no real reason to think this, no physical signs, apart from being tired!
I wasn't trying to get pregnant, quite the opposite, I was on the pill!
I just feel pregnant if that's possible! I feel different, odd, it's soo hard to explain!
I keep telling myself not to be so stupid!!lol but I must believe it on some level because I have stopped taking my pills "just incase!"
I never had anything like this last time round.
Please someone tell me I'm not losing the plot!!

Is it the sickness that lasted a few days EvanMom? I had a slight nauseus feeling for a few dyas which did convince me more, but it has seemed to disappear now, so I thought maybe I was wrong all along! Maybe not.
Very interesting!

hi all, i'm due to test next week and I hate to tempt fate but I think I just might be. As i'm not actually saying the words, hopefully I won't jinx anything. I've had sore ovaries for a week and they hurt even more today. And have been feeling queasy quite a bit today and tired. I know these could be due to the heat but at one point I thought I might even have been sick. Usually wouldn't fill me with joy but in this case..... watch this space.

My AF is due in a week (See rest of thread for my missed pill blunders) but i do feel abit odd - sore ovaries tender boobs bit queezy (or is it all in my head)!!!

Hi all, just being nosey really, has anyone done their test yet? I've surprised myself with my willpower and havn't done it yet
I have ordered some first response ones over the internet, thought if I did that, I wouldn't be tempted to go out and buy one and now I have to wait! lmao
Strange workings of my mind

Good luck everyone, i will keep an eye on this thread to see how you all get on and hopefully i will be joining you next month

I was due to visit my best mate at her mums house on boxing day several years ago, her brother and his children were there too. When I arrived she told me her bro's kids had chickenbox. I immediately thought "i shouldn't be here" so stayed 10 mins gave pressies and escaped. Think I conceived on xmas eve.

Also with dd I developed a rash called pityriasis rosea which according to friend's nursing book can develop in the very early stages of pregnancy. This probably came about about 4 days after conception

Tessiebear · 09/08/2004 13:55

Hi All. It is now 9 days since i think i conceived! AF due at the weekend. I keep trying to put the possibility out of my mind and convince myself that AF will come - but am not quite sure! Got sore boobs but i get them before AF anyway, but i keep getting a weird sensation around my ovary area - i only last remember getting that when first PG with DS1. How soon could i test?

cantknowsoonenough · 09/08/2004 16:49

I've tested early and got a BFP. Have to do it again later in the week. Has anyone else used the clearblue digital?

smellymelly · 09/08/2004 16:58

Tessiebear you could do a test tomorrow, at the earliest. 10 dpo is when the hormones just start to kick in, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't show yet. Do the test with your 1st morning wee, so it will be at its strongest... Good Luck.

Congratulations rydercup!!

I am holding out still until Thursday/Friday to test...still totally unsure as to what's going on. Sometimes I am sure I'm pregnant and other times I think I am just being ridiculous and am imagining such signs! I just hate the wait as I am impatient at the best of times! I am getting a slight achy feeling lower down in my belly and I just can't make my mind up as to whether this could be a 'sign of pregnancy' or the start of my period....aggghhhh! Good luck testing everyone! I'll let you know my outcome in a few days time

aloha · 09/08/2004 17:31

A positive is a positive canknowsoonenough! Congratulations.

Tessiebear · 09/08/2004 17:43

Larlylou and Wishingchair - you are both getting just the same symptoms as me and i too cannot decide WHAT they are- very frustrating. I have decided to wait until the weekend at the earliest to test as i have wasted so much money on tests in the past....

wishingchair · 09/08/2004 17:53

tee hee - just re-read my comment and just want to add that we've been ttc for 2 months but dd is 19 months old. Not that I had dd 2 months ago and am now ttc ... good god, still hadn't had sex at that point let alone having enough of it to get pg . And we want to go through all that again for what reason?!

wishingchair · 10/08/2004 11:53

Ah well - I've got that familiar cramping sensation so I reckon af must be on its way. Am really going to try to put this out of my head and just enjoy ttc

Good luck everyone

congratulations cantknowsoonenough!
Larlylou, I've been the same, I go from being completely convinced I am preggers, to thinking I'm mad and convincing myself I'm not! lol
I thought I might be testing today, but the tests I ordered havn't turned up and I'm not spending any more! So hopefully tommorow, I'll let you all know

After reading this thread for a while I feel like I may as well join in after my Persona blunder nearly two weeks ago. I'm really not sure what is going on at the moment but my sense of taste has started to change, which dh has even joked about, and I'm going to the toilet quite a lot too! Have also had a niggling back ache for about a week. Also boobs are sore and leaking a bit . I have got some early tests but can't test until Monday really so will wait and see.

lonelymumof3 · 11/08/2004 10:15

abitconfused....if you are getting pg symptoms then surely you should be able to test now?

abitconfused · 11/08/2004 10:29

lmo3, AF isn't due for another 6 days and I'm only about 8 dpo at best. Suppose I could test on Friday. Have just re-read my symptoms and they do sound quite obvious though, you are right .

Tessiebear · 11/08/2004 10:45

My AF is ssssooooo on its way - have my token spot on my face, feel bloated, grumpy as hell with EVERYONE, and my sore boobs have now gone (as they do just before AF) Feel a bit relieved to be quite honest - will be good at taking my pill until we decide to TRY for no.3..... If AF is a no show will post again!!!

rydercup · 11/08/2004 13:36

Hi Yorkie (and everyone else!)

Whats topic did you put the note under in 'other subjects' - can't find for looking - brain becoming like mud already! Feeling OK at the moment - although starting to get a very heightened sense of smell - not helpful when DH comes in from the pub reeking of stella and garlic (from a thai curry!!) - he has been warned!!!

Tessiebear...I too am more convinced that my af is on its way too! I am cramping quite a lot at the moment (which I am assuming is telling me that it's on its way only I never suffer from cramps when my af is about to/comes?!?) but am still suffering from sore boobs (which I never suffer from unless I'm pregnant) and now I am bloody constipated....what the hell is going on! I did test this morning but it said negative (it was an old clearblue test stick that I have had for a couple of years so I am wondering if they have out-of-date dates)! So, I'm taking it that I'm not but deep down not fully convinced am gonna test again (af not due until Friday/Saturday) unless af arrives!!!!
