How soon can you start to feel symptoms

I am confused. I have been on the pill for about two years now, and about nine months ago I started having tenderness in my nipples and nausia and sleepyness. Everywhere I looked they said that I was probably pregnant but it would have only been about one week after conseption. Then about a week and a half later the symptoms stopped.

Then the same thing happened to me this past July. I'm sure that I was pregnant that time, because on the day that my period was supposed to start (August 13th), I felt this pressure and then like a pop and I passed a ball about the size of a pea that was translucent with a dark spot in the middle. I was so wrapped up in trying to let God be in control of the moment, since I know that I couldn't handle this, that I didn't think to take it to my doctor. When my doctor did a pregnacy test she said that the hormones were already out of my system and that she couldn't confirm that I had had a miscarrage.

I told my doctor that I was ready to start trying to have children and she told me, since there is a hystory of endomitrian cancer in my family, to start taking the pill again while we waited for my husbands semon analysis then she would put me on some medication to make me ovulate correctly. My husband and I decided, that since this medication and the tests would not be covered by our insurance, that we should just try one month off of the pill to see if we could conseve on our own, that way we would save the money. The only guide we have for my fertility is that while I am on the pill I have a 28 day cycle (my period is normally extremly irregular) so we figured out according to that calender that I should be most fertal on the 27th of August, so we, well you know.

Anyway it is now the 3rd of September one week after I would have ovulated, if we figured correctly, and I am starting to have tenderness in my nipples again and I am exousted and if this time is anything like the last two times the nausia sould start by this weekend. Could I be pregnant or am I just lossing my mind? I don't know what to think anymore. And if I'm not then how will I be able to tell when I am? Please help me.

Well hopefully it's not all in your mind either. My O days where around the same as yours. It's been a week. I had pains in my lower stomach 3 days after I O. They lasted for about 2 days then stop. I dunno if I am pregnant either. Let's pray we are so we can meet up on the May2004 board. But sounds like you just have to wait it out. You probably have until next week or so until your period start. If it don't start then you will have your answer. And the way this week is flying by we both will know before we have a chance to think about it. But everything you are experiencing is signs of pregnancy.

I o'd the same time as you on the 27th...so I am playing the waiting game, too.

It really sucks, because everything you feel you think is a symptom, or at least

I do...and then I wonder if I am making it up because I want it to be one....

I am really tired...but then again maybe I am just tired...So...

My breasts are not tender...so maybe that is a good sign for you...

I will cross my fingers for us all...

I sure hope this week and next flies by...

I am in the same situation as all of you. Ovulated around the 27th and am now playing the waiting game. It sucks because everything does tend to feel like a symptoms. One moment I seem to feel I am and the next I am trying to convince myself (so I won't be disappointed) that they are only my period symptoms...! It would be my first, so it seems to feel even worst since I do not know what to expect for. Arghhhh...! Good luck to all of you though. :)

I started feeling nauseous last night and this morning I vomited. This would be my first too. I am hoping to have two children and that whenever I do have my first baby it is a girl. I have four of little sisters and four nieces and I relate beter with girls. My husband likes the idea of girls also. We have choosen Melody Nichole as the name for our first daughter and Rita Michelle for our second. Of course you can't plan for only the sex that you want so we like Eric Michael for our first son and Matthew something for our second. (as you can tell we have given this alot of thought).

God bless you all and I hope we all get the results that we are praying for.
