Hi all!

I'm new here, but I'm gonna jump right in.

I just got married about a month ago, and I believe I may be pregnant! I'm 34 years old, and this would be my first pregnancy.

Here's the situation. I'm extremely regular - every 28 days like clockwork. I don't know exactly when I ovulate, but had unprotected sex several times 11 days into my cycle, 14 days into my cycle and 16 days into my cycle.

Then last Wednesday (18 days in) I became exhausted - to the point where I couldn't move. I had a splitting headache but didn't feel sick otherwise. I slept about 9 hours that day.

I felt better on Friday, and so, I figured, maybe I'm just imagining things.

But on Saturday, I woke up feeling nauseated and headachy. It lasted all day, and then Saturday night I vomited twice. I rarely throw up, and it's usually due to (forgive me) drinking or eating too much. I had some chicken soup - that's all.

I have been feeling dizzy and nauseated since then. I have taken a couple of tests, but they have come out negative. Since I'm still about five days away from when my period's due, that's not surprising, but it's making me nuts! :)

What has been your experience with this? Has anyone out there felt pregnant before they knew for sure? And from what you've read, what do you think? Am I pregnant?

Thanks for reading! I look forward to your thoughts!

hey! Yes i am totally relating to you. I am having all the pregnant symptoms and I feel pregnant. I have spent over 40 dollars in HPTs in the past 2 weeks! I swear im going nuts! I just came from the doc and they wont do a blood test until i have a positive urine. their urine came out neg but im still before my period. she told me to wait a week, then collect the first morning urine and bring it in. as long as i dont get AF. Its so frustrating!!!!! That means i have to wait another week before i tell the father! AAAARRRRRGH!!!

When I was pregnant for my first son, headaches and dizziness were the only symtoms I had. With my last daughter I was so tired all the time, I took a pregnancy test 3 days before my period was due and it came back positive.

Sometimes the symptoms are there before the test shows a positive.
