Symptoms too soon?

So, after 3 kids, you think I would be an expert at this stuff but I have a question.
I decided to stop using the pill. My midwife let me know that women are prett fertile afterwards and to be careful (unless I was ready for another baby). My husband and I have used condoms and sometimes just the good old withdraw method.
I had my period on the 13th of this month (my 2nd after stopping the pill) and now if I didn't think it was impossible, I would say I am having symptoms of being pregnant.
Here is my question...is it too soon? I didn't even think it was possible to get pregnant yet (by this I mean I haven't ovulated yet after my last period??Not sure) and then to have any symptoms yet? I wasn't sure though if maybe my body could be sensitive to it all since I have 3 already.
Thanks for any insight.

I'm really glad I read your post...I also had my period on the 13th of this month. My schedule is usually pretty regular but if anything it's earlier than 28 days. If you're regular you probably ovulated around the 25th-27th. I don't know if you read my other post but I'm beginning to show symptoms of what i believe might be implanation bleeding( I'm thinking I ovulated before the 25th). I am very fatigued, I am spotting and I have cramping but besides that no other signs (its still very early). When i was pregnant before (3 years ago) I had my last period on Aug 9th and I found out on the 25th that I was pregnant by a take home test (thats like being equivalent to Aug 30th for us...I'm guessing i might have ovulated early)...how that happened so early I don't know...I'm beginning to feel pregnant but then I could just be thinking that. What are all your symptoms...keep in touch with me. I'm not trying to get pregnant...this was unplanned if I am, but at least you and I are on the same page. Good luck!

Oh Sweetie.. it so hard to tell.
Hi there -
I think the 2WW is cruel, personally. My lmp was Aug 14. I had an IUD, and it was removed on aug 24th. Supposedly that is right before I ovulated. And supposedly you are able to get pg immediately (when conditions right, of course) after an IUD removal. (Anyone had more experience on this subject?) Anyway...I just hate waiting...So I feel for you! My last PG I got a BFP a week before my af was due,(9dpo). But then it was faint, and obviously got darker each day. Was a serious pee stick addict. I am trying to control my urges this time and not buy one. I have gone to the store 3 times since ovulation, and walked down the hpt aisle all 3 times! haha! I have resisted the urge to buy a pg test all three times (patting myself on back.) Sorry, I really don't have much advice, but I definitely know how you feel if it makes you feel any better. I'm ok with either being pg or not this month...just the 2WW makes me insane!! Good luck!
PS - my experience with testing so early last pg was that I got a faint positive...and then my husband was still skeptical until it was dark. Actually until I bought a digital and he could read it with his own two eyes. Anyway...kind of took some of the fun out of the announcement.
