Does anybody know if I could be pregnant

My last period started Aug 24th. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and had sex a few times after it ended. I probably shouldn't ovulate until this week sometime but on the 6th of September I started noticing pregnancy symptoms (Breast tenderness, tired, metallic taste in my mouth, mild backache and cramps just to name a few). Is it possible I could be pregnant? I have spent the last few days on the internet trying to come up with an answer and this is the 3rd message I have posted today and I haven't found out anything. I know it is too early to test right now but I need to know. Does anybody know if I could be pregnant?!

I think it might be a little too early to tell. I have read that you don't usually start experiencing pregnancy symptoms until after implantation, which is usually *about* a week after you ovulate.

G/L this cycle!

The only thing I can think of is if you were already pregnant last month...and still had an AF. Was your AF lighter, or maybe you didn't experience cramp or something? Otherwise there is almost no way to be pregnant...unless you were last month. I would wait and see what comes of it though.

Thank you for your suggestions, I really do appreciate them. I thought about the possibility of being pregnant last month but my AF was normal. I'm really confused and anxious right now. I just wish I could find out for sure.

It's funny, your situation sounds very close to mine. My last period was on Aug. 21 (we are also trying, we had sex several times)& for the last 3 days or so I have been feeling very nauseous during the day & at night. I had a miscarriage this past June. When I was pregnant then, before my period was due my breasts were very tender & I was very sick. Right now my breasts are not tender at all, so I am wondering the same thing. It is too early for the both of us to test right now, but good luck!!

Thank you for your comment sunshine2252003. I am very sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Our situations are more similar than you think. I also had a miscarriage. Mine happened in Aug of 2002. I had to wait 6 months to get pregnant again then some other things came up so we couldn't try right at 6 months. We just started trying again at the beginning of this August. I'm really hoping to be pregnant right now. I have so many symptoms that would go unexplained if I'm not. Then again I doubt the possibility of getting pregnant so soon after AF. I have been reading some other stories this morning and am finding that it is possible and it has happened to many other women. So I am desperately hoping I become one of them. I wish you all the luck! Keep me posted!

How long are your cycles normally? On what cd do you normally ovulate? I would think that if you were pregnant last month and had some period like bleeding, you could probably take a hpt and find out. If you weren't pg last month and that was AF that started on the 24th then I would think that there is a possibility, even though I don't know whether you should be feeling symptoms yet. If you have a regular 28 day cycle then you probably ovulated sometime around 9/6 (maybe earlier). If it was earlier, then implantation could have happened by now and symptoms could be occuring. Do you chart? What do your temps look like?

My cycles are normally about 30 days. I've never been completely regular but I am usually right around 30 days. I don't chart so I have no idea when I ovulate or what my temps are like. I don't think I was pregnant last month because AF was normal. There wasn't anything different about it but it does seem impossible to have gotten pregnant right after AF AND be feeling symptoms already. But what other reason would I have for these symptoms? I have heard of women knowing the instant they get pregnant and feeling symptoms right away. Although I definitly don't think that is possible for me, I would like to think that it is possible to be pregnant right now. Thank you for your response! I appreciate it!
