Pregnancy advice please

[Leanneosaurus]

I tried for a baby on 24th, it was only the one time due to circumstances, the very next day I had cramps and needed the toilet a LOT. This continued until yesterday but today the symptoms have disappeared. However, I feel weepy and fed up for no reason and my eyes keep filling with tears.

I've never been maternal before now so it's not like I was desperate to feel symptoms and convinced myself they were there, they really were there! I've never tried for a baby before so I got really excited when I researched what these symptoms were and discovered it could be a potential pregnancy but now I just feel weepy and like I'm not pregnant.

I can understand that most will tell me that I'm weepy because I now don't feel as if I could be pregnant but I don't feel it's because of that, I know my body and my mind.

Maybe I'm thinking I should feel something every day if I am pregnant, I don't know, maybe that's why I don't feel pregnant. Or maybe I'm really not.

Has anyone else been through this? Can anyone give me answers?

Thanks!

I think it would be far too early for you too feel any discernible symptoms. If you had sex 6 days ago on 24th, fertilisation could have happened any time in the next 3 or so days, and it would be another week before the fertilised egg made it round to your uterus to implant. And it's only after implantation that you're likely to get any symptoms at all.

In all likelihood you have had a bit of a bug.

It doesn't mean you're not pregnant. (It doesn't mean these aren't actually symptoms, they could be, it's just very unlikely.)

Best course of action would be to take a test in a week, and another a few days after that.

Good luck.

Thanks, that helps.

I feel really deflated by it all. I've resigned myself to the fact I'm not very likely to be pregnant which is really upsetting so if I stick with that assumption, if it turns out I am, then fantastic!

I told myself before the deed that it was a slim chance anyway and I wouldn't get my hopes up......like that was ever going to happen!

I shall try to be patient and wait another week, I'll let you know if it's a positive :)

It's not over till AF arrives. Good luck
