Am I Pregnant? : sleepy, nauseous, sluggish... Posted: 02-04-07 14:57pm
We have been trying for a baby. we had
sex 1 day before this painful ovulation
window that lasted for about 2-3 days.
Soon after the intercourse, around 1-2
days later I felt very sluggish and
nasueas still feeling this pain. Do you
think we have acheived our goals? I hope
so. I have been really sleepy. This has
never happen to me before.

Ovulation sometimes be experience as a
lower abdominal pain but in most cases, it
can’t be felt. You can predict ovulation
with an ovulation predictor kit and by
measuring the body temperature. One act of
sexual intercourse during the fertile days
of your cycle (days around the ovulation)
is usually not enough to achieve
pregnancy. You should have sex as much as
possible (a few times per day) in order to
increase your chances of pregnancy.
Sluggish, nauseous feeling and sleepiness
are not evidence that you’ve “achieved
your goal”. You will have to wait until
you miss your period, a pregnancy test
reads positive, and you confirm the
presence of a fetus with an ultrasound
before you can celebrate conception.
