Hi everyone. I'm not familiar with all of the codes you guys use, so sorry for writing it all out! I am trying to figure out if there is anyone out there who knew they were pregnant right away. Here is my situation. I think I might have gotten pregnant 11 days ago. I hadn't had sex in 3 months (you know, one of those complicated situations with my boyfriend that I don't think I'll get into here) and I went off the pill. We had sex 11 days ago, and the very next day I felt exhausted and slept in a lot later than usual. I thought it was strange, but I joked to my friends that I was just so exhausted from the great sex. Over the next 3 days, I just felt terrible exhaustion and sleepiness. I would go to bed at 4:30pm and get up at 6:30 (when I have to work) and still feel like I didn't sleep enough. On day 4, I took a couple of sips of coffee and wanted to throw up, so I did not drink anymore coffee that day. On day 5, I spritzed on some vanilla perfume. I was SO nauseous on the bus (I take public trans. to work). At work later that morning, I caught a whiff of coffee brewing, and I ran to the bathroom. Didn't vomit, but gagged a lot. The nausea and tiredness/sleepiness have not left me since. Two days ago I was sitting in a dressing room area at a clothing store. It was the first time I dared to go out other than for work. My friend took a call. She was only on the phone about 3 minutes, but I guess I feel alseep. I honestly didn't even realize I was tired enough for that to happen, especially since I've been sleeping/resting non-stop. I have also had headaches each day. This morning I went to the gym. I felt dizzy and tired. I was also weireded out that I could smell people's breath on the treadmill next to me, and felt sick to my stomach. I switched machines and smelled the same thing. I began to think that my sense of smell has suddenly become over-sensitive. Today I also thought for sure I had the flu. I could have sworn it felt like when you are JUST beginning to feel a fever, when all you want to do is lie in bed because your body feels so bad. I grabbed the thermometer, hoping that I'd have a fever and it would explain everything. I have taken my temp about 6 times today, and it is normal. I took a shower and kept telling myself I was fine. I put on a totally different perfume. Again, I ran to the bathroom and gagged a whole bunch. I had to wash my wrists off with soap and I took a washcloth to clean the scent off of my chest. I broke down and cried. I don't know what is wrong with me. I have not had any diarrhea. My boyfriend is not sick, nor has he been sick in months. I just think it's weird that all of this happened the day after we had sex. Does anyone have any comments? I would do anythinf to have a pregnancy test to east my mind, but it is even too soon for a blood test as far as I know. Thanks everyone!

implantation can take about 2 weeks after fertilization and most of the time a positive wont show until after implantation. you can try to test now but you may want to wait another week. i didnt have any symptoms with either of mine until around 4 or 5 weeks.

Hello,


From what I have read, implantation doesnt occur until about 7-10 days past ovulation so for you to have "symptoms" the next day

Thanks for your input ladies!

Last night my temp went up to 100.0 F but within an hour it was normal again. I read that lots of women experience low grade fevers early on in pregnancy. The other thing that weirded me out is that this morning I read that some women get bloody noses. it reminded me that I had a bloody nose for no reason (I promise I was NOT picking it!) just the other day. Today I am still gagging a lot over the toilet. I will definitely go out and take one of those home pregnancy tests, although a negative result won't really ease my mind much this early on. I just keep surfing the web to try and find another explanation for this, but nothing else matches up with having all of these symptoms at once. Thanks again! Hopefully it will turn out to be an odd bug.
