I feel like utter crap today. I am 4-7 dpo, probably 6. (I havent been charting, just using CP, CM, and dates) Anyhow, today I've had a HORRIBLE headache, and almost got sick on the way home from work. I junked out (Taco Bell and Oreos...probably not the best idea...), then took a nap. I woke up still having the headache, stomach a bit better. Now that I've been up a few hours, my head is once again pounding, my stomach is queasy, and I feel hot. I haven't taken my temp b/c I'm pushing fluids.

My question...is this too early to be having these kinds of symptoms? If I am simply sick, what can I take for my head and my stomach that will be ok just in case I do turn up pg? It feels like a frickin hangover. My poor dog wants to play, and I just want to lay very very still. Every movement is awful. Oh, although I do have a history of migraines, I have not been having them in the past 1 1/2-2 years. (I am in Michigan...the seasons are changing, and it could be allergies...) But like I said...what can I take to make me feel more comfortable? What has helped others? Thanks!!

TY! (I'm usually a drug-free woman...so I didn't even think to ask the doc what I could take!!)

I have to agree with the Tylenol and.....may I add.. an ice pack on your head? I've had migraines too. Kinda runs in my family. Ice pack usually helps, little tip from my Mom! Then just go to bed and sleep! Hope you feel better soon!

I'm going to suggest baby Aspirin, bc I believe that is safe during pregnancy (in case you ARE pg) whereas Tylenol isn't as safe. (Not necessarily UNsafe, but I've seen studies show that it can be bad for the baby, ya just never know!)

I hope you feel better! :)

I don't think it's too soon for you to have pg symptoms (mine started 7 dpo) but I don't think they would be this strong yet. I could feel mine on and off, but as time when by they got stronger and stronger. At 6 weeks they hit hard. From 7 dpo til 6 weeks I had: headache (mild like my vision was off or something), nausea (came in waves but only lasted a few seconds, now, I have it everyday, all day), fatigue (this was the most noticable at first) and a bloated feeling.

As far as taking anything, I've always been told tylenol by my doctors. I hope you get to feeling better soon and good luck with ttc. I hope this month is your month and these are pg symptoms (even though they aren't much fun).
