8 weeks postpartum and could have conceived???

[Boymommm]

Hi ladies I’m going to try to make this short. DH and I did the deed 5 weeks postpartum. Out of nowhere now I’m nauseous at random times, when I eat certain things, and I all of a sudden HATE the smell of cigarettes. Could this just be a sign of postpartum period coming? I’ve never had nausea before period before. And if I DID conceive Im wondering if I would even be feeling symptoms so soon.
Please help ease my mind.

I think taking a test would be the only thing that can put your mind at ease. Then you’ll know for sure and can consider all your options.

I’m 4 months post partum and did find that my hormones did some funny things when they were balancing out. But I didn’t have any pregnancy symptoms, mine were mostly mood related.

Is pregnancy likely? Did you use contraception?

It is totally possible to conceive again so soon if nothing was used. You need to take a test to put your mind at rest one way or another.

Yes its possible although very early for symptoms

I started having symptoms within days of conception for both my pregnancies. I met a man once who had five kids when he was 16. The day his triplets were born he had sex with his wife and 9 months later they had twins. True story.
OP sounds like you need to have a pregnancy test.

A test will tell you op. But if you didn't use contraception and weren't exclusively breastfeeding then it's possible you are pregnant.

I became pregnant about 8 weeks after ds3 was born so it's possible

When you're postpartum you are extremely fertile so it is possible that you have conceived again if you didn't use contraception. Take a test and put your mind at ease.

Does anyone else see a line going up and down or are my eyes playing tricks on me? AF still hasn’t shown up and I’m late for my period (I think). I don’t know what’s going on with my body 🥲

Just took this at 6:30 pm

DSis conceived at 8 weeks pp despite exclusive breast feeding. There’s a month where her boys are the same age- 11 months between them.

I can see what looks like a shadow of a line.. I'd retest in a couple mornings.

I can sort of see a shadow of line but not convincing, have you got another to try with morning wee?

Not enough to make me think it's positive. Try another one in a few days

I’ll keep you guys updated. Thanks

I know I shouldn’t have but I picked up the test and hour later and the line is obvious now. In the picture you can hardly see color but it definitely was blue. Won’t know for sure until I test again. Could be an evaporation line right?

Well maybe, but honestly probably not, it was visible in control period, albeit stronger now and it has colour. Sorry that's not what you want to hear.
Could be an evap though, see what the morning brings

Not sure which way you want it to go, OP, but Good luck!

Could be residual hcg

Could be hormones from after pregnancy. Hope you're ok OP.

If there's a second test in the box I'd have taken it in the morning using your first wee of the day but that definitely looks like a positive test.

At 8 weeks post partum it's unlikely it's residual hormones

It would very unlikely be residual hCG 8 weeks pp. try another brand!

I don’t think that’s evaporation, I think you’re pregnant:

I had residual hcg for 11w after a mmc so definitely possible

@toadstool32

I had residual hcg for 11w after a mmc so definitely possible

Same for me so possible it's new, possible it's residual.

Test first thing in morning every few days - if line gets stronger, its new

It does look like a positive test. I have 13 months between my youngest 2 boys. It’s not the best but they are good friends!
