Is It possible to feel pregnant so soon! Any thoughts!

[wd5339]

my hubby and i have been trying for the last week, according to last period i had , it tells me that last week was my fertile peak. I noticed 3 days after we were trying this past week i have been having mood swings, and a lil nauseated. As of right now cant stand to think about french fries gag lol. i also checked my temp today and it has been at 99.3 basal temp thing. So im guessing that eithier im still fertile or already preggo. Im 36 and am a lil frightened that wont get preggo to soon. i had my last one at 33. Just wondering what others thought out there. I cant test for 9 more days hate that lol. Anyhow good luck to the ladies that are trying hope u get lots of sticky dusts.

The earliest an egg can implant is about 5-6dpo.  If you don't know the exact date of your ovulation, you COULD be feeling pregnancy symptoms.  Unfortunately, those  "Based on last period" predictors aren't very accurate.  I USUALLY ovulate exactly 14 days after my period started, but I can go anywhere between 14-19 days - so if I listened to one of those predictors in the month that I ovulated on CD 19, I would have completely missed my fertile period.

One lone temperature can't tell you anything - it's the pattern of a group of temps that can tell you when you've ovulated.  If you're not already doing so, I suggest you look into charting your waking temperatures.  It's a great way to be able to tell when you've ovulated.  As well, learn to identify fertile CM.

Do you recall any patches of fertile cervical fluid  (CF)- creamy or eggwhite in consistency last week?  This is a much better indicator of when you might have O'd than when your last period was.

As JelloPanda said, without more information about when you O'd it is difficult to know where you are at in your cycle to know if what you are experiencing could be pregnancy related.  Implantation occurs between 6 and 12 DPO (days past ovulation) and 84% of the time between 8 and 10 DPO.  Pregnancy symptoms would show up after implantation occurs.  So if you did O sometime last week then now you'd be less than 6 days after O, making your symptoms unlikely to be related to pregnancy. 

Also as JelloPanda pointed out, one temperature does not make a pattern.  But I will say that 99.3 is a very high basal body temp.  You took that first thing in the morning after a 3 hour block of sleep, without sitting up/getting up first?  It sounds a bit feverish, actually, which could account for your nausea.  That temp is not a pre-O temp unless it is caused by a fever- it's just to high. I don't think even hyperthyroidism would cause a pre-O temp to be that high. So either you have a bit of an infection or your luteal phase (after O) temps run quite high (and therefore indicating that you did O).

I second the recommendation to learn how to chart your basal body temp and CF.  If you'd like more information, just post!

Well, there is only one way to find out.... I am just not one who says don't test or to wait to see. I am the girl who starts testing at 7DPO and will not stop until I get AF. Probably not great for my mood or my pocket book, but I just can't help it. I love to POAS!

But one thing that sticks out in my mind that I was told by my doc, is that if you are far enough along have symptoms then you are far enough along to take a test. He said that pregnancy symptoms are triggered by the pregnancy hormone and if the level is high enough for your body to have a physical reaction to the change then you have high enough levels to be dectected on an hpt.

Good luck to you!
