I Think Im Insane, Or Not Relaxing Enough
Posted: 12-26-05 22:20pm

Me and my husband are ttc, we had intercourse on the (this was my ovulation) 22nd. I havent been feeling good at all, I just feel like, im really tired lately, and have been falling asleep alot (fell asleep on christmas at 12 o'clock in the afternoon), and been having headaches.
I went to sleep right after intercourse, and had a pillow under my hips, because it says that you should lay down 30 mintues - all night. I get my period on the 5th, and I plan on takinga test on the 6th. But I dont know if im making these symptoms, or they really are. Because I think it is way to early to have them, but I also heard you can get pregnant in 24-72 hours. Any comments on this please??

Thank you,
kelly

When you ovulate, if the egg is fertilized, implantation will occur. If the egg did not get fertilized it is passed.

Implantation occurs when the egg is fertilized. The egg then becomes known as a blastocyst. After being fertilized the now blastocyst releases hormones that tells it to burrow into the lining of the uterus. This usually occurs about eight days after fertilization.

Once the blastocyst implants in the uteran lining it continues to secrete hormones that tell the body to prepare for pregnancy. It is these hormones that cause pregnancy symptoms, especially morning sickness.

Each woman's reaction to the increased level of hormones is different. Some women may be sensitive enough to detect the subtle changes as early as 8 - 10 days after fertilization, soon after implantation has occured. Other than possibly missing a period, other women may not even detect the symptoms/changes until around week 6 after conception.

You would be surprised how many pregnancies even go undetected. It is not uncommon for a woman to be pregnant, miscarry, and not even know it because she thought it was just a period.

It is also not uncommon for a woman to want to be pregnant so badly that her body may actually start showing symptoms of pregnancy, even though she really isn't. The only surefire way to know is to test.

When testing do keep in mind, too, that it is not uncommon to get several negative results at first, even if you really are pregnant. It all depends on how fast your body is producing the pregnancy hormone. I had several negative hpts until I missed my period, even though implantation had already occured.

Hey, I almost 6 weeks pregnante! I had those exact same symptoms not even a full week or so afterwards, but I didnt pay any attention because I had just gotten married and thought it was stress from our wedding. On our honey moon all I wanted to do was sleep and my husband rub my head cuz of the headachs. When my hair and skin started to get oily I took a test and discovered I was pregnante!!! I was extreamly tired..And carried constant headachs *which I never do*!! I hope its all worked out and I wish you the best.

*~ baby dust ~*
lemme know how it goes :)

If you talking about being b!T#hy and wanting to strangle ur hubby I have been there lol!!


Its normal to get mood swings with your hormones going pyscho but take into consideration pms does the same thing, I get migraines 2-3 days before starting my period as well as bloating,frequent urination and just feel mean.....I knew I was pregnant right away hubby and dr didnt believe and the tests were coming back negative even though I missed my period cause I was on b/c pills. Sometimes instinct is stronger by the time the test came out positive I had already done 4-5 hpt and I was almost two months trust your heart and relax!!!

Yeah its a little to early to have the symptoms...But you still have that big chance of being pregnant...I'd just wait and take the test ...And just take things easy until then...But best of luck ...!!
