Moms/Preggers

I know this is a hated question but.......I've been really tired the last two weeks, on and off dizzieness, on and off nausous feeling, and crabby. I would asume I'm not preggers but are these symptoms of it? I know eveyone is different but what have you experienced.

Re: Moms/Preggers

  • Have you missed your period or taken a test? If you're worried take a test - best way to find out. Yes, these are symptoms but they're also symptoms of many other things. so it's hard to say.

    my nausea and exhuastion kicked in pretty quick after I found out I was pregnant. I didn't really get dizziness.

  • The thing about those symptoms is that they could be attributed to so many different things, the best thing to do is to take a test. 

    Good luck! :)

  • I think you need to pee on ye olde stick.

    Is there a serious possibility that you could be preggars?

  • According to msn's ovulation thing yes, I could be. No missed period, yet. Ugh, I don't know. I think if I POS my H will think I'm crazy. I'll wait it out for another week.

  • It could be allergies if you have them.  I've had the same kind of thing happen to me...dizziness, exhaustion, and some nausea from the dizziness.

    Let us know how everything turns out!

    Just POAS without telling him. I do it every few months when I freak out that I am knocked up. hehe.  One month he did find the wrapper in the trash and had a mini-panic attack. 
  • I know these are systoms of pregnancy, but I didn't experience them.  Pee on the stick...It would drive me crazy if I had to wait a week.

    I POS two months ago because I was over a week late (very odd for me).  DH already knows Im crazy, but I knew he would freak out if I had any thought I may be preggers, so I disposed of the evidence, but accidentaly left the instructions on my night stand.  oops!  and of course he was looking for some chapstick and found it, and indeed, had a little oh crap moment.  he was fine after a few beers though, and when AF showed up the next day.  Not to say it would have been horrible if it was positive, just a big surprise. 

  • Hope this comes out as helpful and not snarky :) 

    Online ovulation predictors are extremely unreliable.  The only way to really know if/when you ovulated is by charting (or of course bloodwork, ultrasounds, etc...).  While your cycles may be very similar month to month, many different factors can effect the length of it which would then cause some cycles to be longer than others. 

    So, without charting it is difficult to say if you really are late, but if you think that you may be then just "poas."  It doesn't make you crazy to want to do so, it can just help answer your question :)

  • i felt like i was getting AF any second, and i knew i should have had it by then but my period was so messed up. My sore boobs were my tell tale sign, i rarely ever had sore boobs before AF
  • do you want to be pg? if so i hope you are, if not i hope you arent :)i had no symptoms until 6-7 wks pregnant.

    i tested after i missed my period (about 15 days after ovulation)...i really wanted to be pregnant and didnt want to see a not pregnant sign on a POAS test if i was not pregnant (wouldve rather waited for AF).

    good luck and let us know how it turns out!?

  • Oh I forgot I had the sore boobs too! that started before I even got my positive.
  • I had no symptoms.  We were trying so I tested 3 days before my period and got a positive.  There are always dollar store test if you really want to know now.  Good luck!

    This exactly.  My cycles are not regular and I can ovulate any day form cycle day 13 to cycle day 25.  You may have just O'ed later.  Go to the dollar store and get a test if you are worried.  Let us know how it goes.
