Everything seems to be happening so quick. Last week I hadn't even DTD and today I know I'm pregnant and I feel really ill.

I can't concentrate at work, my head is pounding, I have felt sick all day and I can't stop going to the toilet.

I'm 1 week pregnant, how can I be so ill?

Technically you're about 3 weeks as it starts from date of last period.
Am I reading it right that you got a bfp less than a week after dtd? That's impressive!

AmyGardner · 17/08/2017 14:38

I tested because I threw up in Boots. Then Comet. Then out of the car window. Grin

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 14:41

Yes that is exactly what has happened! Dtd on Friday and here we are. I kid you not.

I am sat at working trying to fight the tug to just get up and go home to bed

Maybe you have a bug.

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 14:42

I meant urge not tug

Definitely pregnant. Got a positive on a digital test last night.

I suppose it could be a bug, just really bad timing

Gosh never heard of anyone getting a positive so soon, congratulations!

RhubardGin · 17/08/2017 14:46

Are you sure you're only 1-3 weeks?

I'm sorry but I've never heard of someone getting a BFP less than a week after DTD, is it even possible?

I think it's more likely that you are further along than you think Confused

Congratulations though! Flowers

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 14:47

I know I haven't either! It seems crazy

So dtd Friday and positive test Wednesday? That's a bfp 5 days after sex. As far as I'm aware that's impossible, it takes 5 days or more for the fertilised egg to travel down to your womb and then a few days to start to implant and only then are hormones released which pass into your urine to give a bfp. Any chance you're pregnant from last month?

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 14:50

Honestly we hadn't dtd all
Month Blush we decided we would start trying and and threw away the contraception. So on Friday, 2 days before my af due dat we dtd after a few drinks.

Then last night I got a positive on s clear blue. It said 1-2 weeks.

What is going on?

OP posts:
RhubardGin · 17/08/2017 14:50

Maybe you're having twins! Hence the strong early BFP?

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 14:51

Is it possible that the clear blue test has given a false reading?

OP posts:
RhubardGin · 17/08/2017 14:53

I would wait two weeks and test again. It does seem almost impossible that you would get a BFP 5 days after sex.

Passthecake30 · 17/08/2017 14:53

Maybe it's a bug. Fingers crossed you feel better soon. Congrats!

GlitteryFluff · 17/08/2017 14:56

I think certain medications can give a false positive. Are you taking any medication?

FreedaDonkey · 17/08/2017 14:58

That's not possible . I would test again .

RhubardGin · 17/08/2017 14:59

OP, what made you test so early?

GlitteryFluff · 17/08/2017 14:59

And did the reading come up in the correct time frame?

LynetteScavo · 17/08/2017 15:26

I've read coming of the pill can boost your fertility the first month...but I'd bet it failed and you're more than one week pregnant.

Congratulations!

PJsAndProsecco · 17/08/2017 15:29

You must be further along, it won't be possible to get a BFP less than a week after DTD! I'd be taking a trip to the docs and getting seen by a midwife, maybe you can have an early scan to establish how far along you actually are! Congrats!

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 15:56

I known not further along. Definitely not we didn't dtd after last period. One and only time was Friday.

I tested because I felt sick and af is late. I knew it's was early and I was being ridiculous so fully expected not pregnant. The word pregnant came up straight away and then 1-2 weeks shortly after.

Just done a cheapy dye test and that says I'm not pregnant.

Hormonal contraception that's still in your system can give a false positive, according to the ClearBlue website... maybe it's that?

Penny31 · 17/08/2017 16:07

Haven't been on the pill for 4 years!

OP posts:
RhubardGin · 17/08/2017 16:08

Hi OP,

Sorry but I suspect your second test is correct and you probably have a bug at the moment, terrible timing obviously.

Fingers crossed you'll get your BFP soon.
