I have had two girls and am trying to get pregnant. My last period was July 21-24. We have been trying to get pregnant since then. My other two pregnancies occurred on the last day of my period which is when we started trying this time. I have really weird feelings in my abdomen, hard to describe, not pain but not fullness, kind of like there is a football in there or something. I do not know how to describe it. I have been nauseated for the past three to four days and am very fatigued (which is nothing new!). Oh, I am constantly hungry also. Anyway, I do not remember having these symptoms with my first two pregnancies but those were over 6 1/2 years ago. Any help?

Thanks!

What exactly do you mean when you say that your last two pregnancies happened on the last day of your cycle? From what I have learned so far (thought limited) I don't think that is possible. As far as I know, you ovulate halfway through your cycle. Your cycle starts on the first day of your period, and goes till you have another period. So, you can become pregnant right around ovulation, but a pregnancy test normally will not show that you are pregnant until around the time that you expect your period to appear or shortly after. You are only fertile for a short time during your cycle, for a couple days leading up to your ovulation. Also I have read that you have to have a luteal phase (the amount of time between ovulation and the start of your period) of at least 12 days in order for a pregnancy to "take"...

So, did you mean that you found out that you were pregnant on the last day of your cycle?

No, I honestly know for a fact that with both of my daughters I got pregnant on the last day of my cycle. Of course, everything in my life does not go the way it should. I have read everywhere how rare it is, but that is how the last two have happened. So, we are trying again. Of course, we tried the last day of my cycle. So, I should be able to test somewhere around 8/22 or 8/23. I know it is really strange, and if it wasn't that I knew for sure, I wouldn't believe it either!
