Hey,

So my partner (29m) and I (27f) have been having unprotected sex for 7 years now, we aren't actively trying atm but just letting things happen naturally if it happens it happens so to speak. We obviously both want a family so if I were to fall pregnant it would be a welcomed suprise.

Anyway for 7 years nothing has happened, I was also diagnosed with PCOS in 2020 and I am assuming that has a lot to do with it. We probably have sex maybe once/ twice a week so not much. I had my last period 2 weeks ago (19th-23rd March). We had sex the day after (24th) and on the (29th, 30th). On Saturday just gone (5th April) I went to the toilet and noticed very, VERY light pink spotting, I had to double take that I was actually seeing what I was seeing. Thinking that's werid as I'd only just come off my period 2 weeks before I just assumed I'd started super early. Since then I haven't had any spotting, however I have been going to the toilet soooo frequently and have had subtle period like pains, pulling and almost tight feeling, my nipples have been super sensitive and from this afternoon I'm been feeling nausea (like car sickness) and threw up this evening.

I will say that I am prone to UTIs but this doesn't feel like a UTI (no stinging, burning, bleeding, pain, no constant feeling of having a full bladder) I feel fine until I suddenly need to pee and I pee then I'm fine again. I'm also very snappy/moody, so much so my family keep mentioning my mood 🤣 one minute I'm fine the next I'm gruppy and I can't help it.

Anyway I've looked back on my tracker and if I am pregnant I would have had to have conceived on the 29th and the 30th March pretty much a week after my period ended which would make me 10/11dpo if that were the case. I suppose my question is, is it even possible to conceive that close after my period ended? According to my tracker (flo) from the 29th/30th it comes up saying (chance to convieve) I haven't taken a test yet as I feel like it would be too early still. Has anyone experienced anything like this amd it turns out you were pregnant?

I'm not getting my hopes up as given my history and disappointment but i'm just curious what people think.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Given ovulation is typically day 14 then I’d say it’s unlikely you have conceived day 7 but people do ovulate early / later.

I see you’re not actively TTC but when you decide to try using an app like flo / pre mom and ovulation sticks to help you time it more accurately to your ovulation window.

quite a lot of people have some spotting mid cycle -it’s not always implantation - it can be due to a fluctuation in hormones such as when estrogen dips (normal) amongst other things such as fibroids etc.

It could be ovulation (as some people do spot on occasion with it) if you had finished you period two weeks prior.
As for symptoms, you can symptom spot till you're blue in the face but pregnancy and period hormones are so so similar that it could be to do qith either. Not to mention hormone fluctuation for ovulation and after.
If, however, you are 10 or 11dpo there is a higher change of showing a positive on a test.
Especially if you have enough hcg in your system to create symptoms.

With PCOS it's not unusual to have anovulatory cycles, where your 'period' isn't a real one but just a withdrawal bleed, and then a delayed ovulation (at any point) after that bleed, so you may actually have been fertile right after the bleed ended.

It's why period tracking doesn't really work for contraception but fertility awareness methods that are based on hormone levels/proxies do! ☺️
