Is this a possiblity?!
| Fri, 10-17-2003 - 3:26pm |
I just went to the pregnancy calendar, and according to my LMP, (if I am infact PG), I would be at 5 weeks. I've had symptoms for a week now, and what I'd like to know is if there has been anyone, who had symptoms early, but couldn't get a BFP until so far along? Maybe after 6 weeks? What confuses me tho, if I'm not feeling well, shouldn't there be enuf HCG in my body to come up on a test? There is enuf to make me have the symptoms... I am so very confused right now. Please someone let me know this has happened to you! I used the 'Answer' test, but I don't like it much, should have bought 'First Response'.
Thanks ladies~

It is the increase in estrogen, brought on by the fertilization of the egg, that causes the pregnancy symptoms, not the hcg. Estrogen is what maintains the life of the fertilized egg until there is enough hcg to take over.
