Has anyone ever felt early pg symptoms day after conception (and later found they were pg)?

Ovulated yesterday and today feel like I've been hit like a bus (EXHAUSTED), is it possible I could feel pg if I was?

You can't know the day after, Because you don't know when "the day" is. It's a best guess that's all.

It's not cool to build up the OP's hopes like this tbh, loads of people have been there, hoping against hope every month, over thinking every twinge and feeling.

Good for those of you that have been successful and have the benefit of hindsight but the higher your hopes get, the more crushing the bfn is.
I hope it's a positive op but as pp have said, please don't overthink everything. Just in case.

I worked a very high tech center (Dow Corning/DuPont) had my pregnancy confirmed 3 days after sexual relations. Nuclear med blood test. I knew. Not impossible.

NimbleKnitter · 20/03/2018 21:04

You had what confirmed? Fertilisation? Or implantation?

And how? Genuinely interested

NimbleKnitter · 20/03/2018 21:09

(And pretty sure the OP hasn't had one of those...)

Bubblegum89 · 20/03/2018 21:13

Y’all should get in touch with some scientists because if you know you’re pregnant “the day after” then you are literally a medical marvel and need to be studied lol

I’ve thought 100% I was pregnant many times and haven’t been. I’ve also been pregnant twice and had no idea until actual real pregnancy symptoms kicked in at about 4 weeks. There’s no ifs or buts, it’s just not physically or biologically possible to know if you’re pregnant before your body does just based on symptoms or a “feeling”

I felt tiredness like never before on days 3 onward. On day 5 my gums bled when brushing which never happened before. Bfp on day 8. It was twins.

mammyoftwo · 20/03/2018 21:34

But here's the thing.......I genuinely think there is.......female intuition and maternal instincts. Not everything in this world can be explained by "science".

Fwiw pp are right to highlight that things often follow a certain path (ttc can be a horrendously emotional rollercoaster, especially for those ttc dc1), but that isn't always the case.

For me, I've felt/experienced sensation of ovulation since 12 years old. (Not statistically frequent but a genuine thing). So I do know when I ovulate.
With both dc 1 and 2 I felt (what I believed to be) implantation. Then at hospital scans I pointed to where I felt implantation, songrapher showed us where it happenf and guess what.........I was right!!

It was a blood test being devised to help rape victims. All I know is it involved the nuclear med division and pregnancy was confirmed 3 days (Monday) after relations on Saturday.

Bubblegum89 · 20/03/2018 22:32

Okay OP, you have kind of been told numerous times that it is impossible (and honestly, it truly is) to have pregnancy symptoms at 1dpo. It’s clear that you don’t believe in the science behind that for whatever reason despite many posters trying to advise you otherwise. So I hope for your sake that your “intuition” is correct, wish you good luck for the future and hope you get your bfp soon

NimbleKnitter · 20/03/2018 22:49

Interesting - though of course, conception could have occurred from sex on an earlier day, unless yours was a one hit wonder!

I'm trying to work out what the blood test could have picked up as a fertilised egg doesn't release anything - the hormones that sustain pregnancy in the early days comes from the corpus luteum, which is the follicle left behind.

Did your test involve any kind of scan?

Ivebeenaroundtheblock · 20/03/2018 23:11

Blood test only Dow Corning Midland Michigan 1984.
No chance it was earlier/missed dates. Copper IUD in place (removed that evening) went on to a normal full term pregnancy, third one in three years.

Celebelly · 20/03/2018 23:15

I don't know. I'm a real science-believer but I do also think there is still so much we don't know about women's reproductive process (as evidenced by all the cases of 'unexplained infertility') that I don't really like to judge or say it's impossible.

I had a chem pregnancy before last cycle and I just 'knew' something was different from 6dpo. I have years of period data logged as I've always had quite unusual cycles so have found it helpful to record lots of details. That cycle was an aberration and markedly so. I said to my DP on 6dpo that I know I was pregnant, and I got a positive at 9dpo. I even tested at 6dpo because I felt so strongly different that I wondered if I'd got my dates wrong (even though I used OPKs and temped).

Last month I knew I hadn't conceived pretty early as none of the symptoms from my chem cycle were there at all. I didn't even bother to test until late, and that was more out of the need just to pee on something before AF arrived.

I guess what I'm saying is that the body is a mysterious thing, and there's so much we don't know. But I definitely also agree that you can get carried away in 2WW with symptom-spotting, so it's tricky.

Steaksauce · 20/03/2018 23:20

There is a chance it was earlier. Getting pregnant with a copper IUD in is possible. My mum got pregnant with a copper IUD in. And the result of that is typing this post.

Ivebeenaroundtheblock · 20/03/2018 23:21

Feeling ovulation is not uncommon 20% of the females experience it.
it's called mittelschmerz.

Steaksauce · 20/03/2018 23:23

Feeling ovulation and feeling conception are two totally different things.

ChaosNeverRains · 20/03/2018 23:28

I was pregnant every month for about six years when I was (unsuccessfully) ttc. Grin. Except the month I actually conceived when I had no symptoms what so ever and even had a period. Grin.

I was also a regular frequenter of the TTC boards and every month the other women there who were ttc used to talk about how this month was their month etc etc. It’s all psychosomatic.

Funnily enough I was pregnant last month as well, morning sickness/nausia, cramps down there, everything. No idea why since I haven’t had sex in nearly a year. Grin.

And the women who said every month that they were sure something was different “this month” seemed to forget that fact when they got their actual bfp’s. Most had symptoms every month, they only remembered the months when they actually were pregnant.

Ivebeenaroundtheblock · 20/03/2018 23:39

No sexual relations earlier no chance.
Interesting times living in a very research driven unique town. Like I said it was technology they were working on. It picked up my pregnancy but maybe too expensive or not reliable enough for commercial use.

MovingAgainOhWhy · 20/03/2018 23:39

Several months I have been utterly convinced I was pregnant, with strange symptoms etc but I wasn't

The two times I was pregnant I felt absolutely no different until at least 4 weeks and now have 2 healthy DCs

Lots of people retrospectively attribute odd things to pregnancy but in reality It's often a coincidence. It's medically impossible to know that soon

usernotfound0000 · 21/03/2018 07:01

I had symptoms about 10 days before a test showed positive, I was feeding my cats like I do every morning and the smell of their food made me retch. I then had very swollen and tender breasts, I just knew I was from very early on.
