Morning sickness five days before af due?

Hello

I am due on in five days time but Dh had sex i think on day 7 and 17 of cycle. We have now decided that to just have full sex and If I fall pregnant I do - YIPPEE!!!!!

I know the average ovulation time is 14 days and that sperm can live up to 3 days so I could be pregnant right?

For the last four days I have the funny taste in mouth and real moments of that familiar sickness feeling.

With my first pregnancy I had sickness just around 11am each day from 8 weeks - 12 weeks

Second pregnancy was hell and from 6 weeks felt green for 24 hours until 16 weeks!!!

So surely this can not be morning sickness five days before I am even due on right?

I am also weeing lots and feeling tired.

I would be so happy of I was so the next five days are going to drag for me.

What do you think?

Morning sickness or madness???

IMO, you are probably a bit mad.

if your cycle is 28 days, then you have most likely missed your chance this month, but stranger things have happened

either wishful thinking, a bug or possibly you are pregnant and having twins!!!

5 days before AF due is 11 DPO.. very, very early for any symptoms, would just be looking at implantation

Firstly, I felt sick just about every month I was TTC - particularly the first month

Saying that, I was very nauseous, tired and had those pulling sensations in my lower abdomen about 4-5 days before period was due in my successful month. I'm now almost 15wks and my scan has put me just under a week ahead of my dates, so I may have ovulated earlier.

Wait it out - or nip and get one of those '6 days before due' First Response doo-das As long as you know that a test may still show negative even if you are pregnant, and you may have to wait a few days and test again!

Hi

Those early tests did not detect my last pregnancy the day before I was due period so I dont want to waste me money... but if i have ovulated early this month then it is possible. When using persona I did notice there were times I ovulated around day 10.

Am also feeling very 'morning sickness' at moment, highly unlikely that I am pregnant though... AF due in 4 days, did think about doing a test but have decided to wait until Monday (maybe)..hope you get the result you are looking for

Babytime, you may not be mad. Whenever I have been pregnant I 'knew' about a week before getting a BFP. Felt a bit sick, bit hot and had a heavy tummy.

Good luck - hope you get the result you're after

monkeybumsmum - that makes me feel postive!!!

I desperately want another baby.

Saw a mum from my daughters school today who had a baby last week. The baby was not even with her and when I said congratulations I welled up - how embarassing

I dont know why but I just feel pregnant, maybe Im not and I am just going insane.

One things for sure - I need to fall pregnant soon before I lose it completely

Hi,
I am also 4 days befre AF due and have felt slightly nauseous (but not actually been sick) for the past 2 days, have been weeing lots and had weird 'tugging' sensations low in my abdomen. Have never been pg so don't know what toe xpect, but I haven't felt like thisbefore. If I'm not, i think I must have a bug or something! Good luck babytime, and keep posting x

OOOPs also forgot to mention that one of the big reasons I think I am pregnant is for the last week my nipples have been leaking!!!

I noticed two little wet patches on my tshirt after my nipples were tingling.

They are tingling alot.

If I am not pregnant then I will go to the gp because I know yoru nipples should not do this normally.

I read earlier that nipples leaking can also be as a result of your brain releasing high levels of the hormone prolactin www.babycentre.co.uk/preconception/activelytrying/periodlateexpert/

Hello beaniesteve - thats interesting, thanks! If my period does not arrive then that could be the reason.

Its funnt because on that website it states re: Morning Sickness:

"If you're lucky, morning sickness won't hit you until a few weeks after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But as early as a couple of days following conception, you may begin feeling nauseated and queasy. And not just in the morning, either -- pregnancy-related nausea can be a problem morning, noon, or night "

On mumsnet everyone always says that you would not experience sickness so early so the advice above goes against that.

everyone has different levels of pregnancy hormone, within parameters, and respond to it differently.

As far as I know, as soon as there is HcG in your bloodstream (which is sooner than it is evident in urine btw) you could start to feel symptoms.

Most people don't get symptoms so early, but 'most' is not everyone!

Dunno about leaky boobs though, as I had this a few months ago and wasn't pregnant - over a year since I stopped bf.

Good luck and I hope you get the outcome you want.

Hi All

Is being hot a common sign of being pregnant before AF?

I've really felt hot but cant tell if its weather or illness. So unlike me, am usually block of ice....

Thanks!

Well I would like to know more or less the opposite! Now on CD 29/30 when my cycle is usually 24 days and all I am getting is BFNs and barely any symptoms. Perhaps I am one of those women who get no symptoms at all and have no detectable HCG?

Dammit, I wish my period would just come now.

I will have to wait another week at least before my doctor will give me a blood test. Although I do have one booked for 17th July for the 21 day test which I will now have to rearrange for at least a week later.

I'll just keep oon testing, or resisting testing if I can and will wait to see if my period shows up.

Babytime - I got really strong "symptoms" about 8 days before AF due - ie actually before implantation (which is supposedly impossible) - but had - some nausea, a strong metallic taste in my mouth that only lasted about two days (but so odd that I thought the Minstrels I was eating were off), pains in my legs I and an aversion to alcohol. And sure enough when I tested about 5 days later I got a BFP. This is my 3rd pg - so maybe your body just becomes more sensitive to the hormonal changes even at that very early stage.

Thats great, I hate this waiting phase especially if it is neg!!!

I like to hear these positive stories though

Beanie - you may have ovulated later, are you temping/OPK's?

Turnip - you, on the other hand, probably ovulated earlier, or just had a super-speedy fertilised egg that implanted very quickly!

Teuch - I have a clearblue fertility monitor and I got my peak on CD 15 and fertility friend says I ovulated on CD16 (though not from temps, just from the fertility monitor and Ovulation tests), this is usual for me. Though my cycle is only 24 days, I ovulate fairly late in my cycle, I have a short luteal phase averaging around 10 days but often shorter and for the last 4 months (and in the past) I have got my period on or around 25 days. Am now on Day 29/30 and my longest cycle in the last 10 months has been 30 days (once).

The hopeful part of me says that maybe because I am only 13/14 DPO perhaps my HCG levels are just not very high, but as this did happen to me 5 months ago I am expectig the worst and for my period to just appear late sometime this week.

I was away in Glastonbury last weekend for 5 nights, camping and quite excited and out in the sun a lot, so perhaps all that has caused a delay.

I just wish I knew either way

Just went for short bike ride with dd and when I was riding up the hill I start thinking i should not be doing this.

I cant put my life on hold can I?

I rode my bike up to 4 months pregnant with other two pregnancies.

I'm driving myself mad here!

Well Beanie, unless you didn't actually ovulate after you got your peak (which is possible) then it looks good, since your LP should never vary by more than a day - the only variable is when you ovulate.

Did you keep monitoring to ensure there wasn't a later surge? I have everything crossed for you!! Lots of people have not had a +ve until up to 9 days late...

Baby - no, don't put your life on hold! Vodka binge, probably not...bike ride, definitely yes!!
