Is it VERY likely that I am pregnant or even could be?

Question

Hey everyone , you mite have read my posts prior to this...if not let me restate the situation. me & my DH are trying to conceive, my LMP was August 1st and we Baby danced on the 9th , 10th , 12th, 13th, 16th , 18th, and 20th. My ovulation day was the 15th and since 3dpo I've been feeling preggo symptoms that I would not feel after I ovulate. On 3dpo my face began to break out my b***s slightly ached and I was insanely hungry for the past few days I have been eating like crazy. I also recently started having lower back pain at 6dpo and cramps. It is 8dpo for me & my face is still broken out , my back hurt , i'm tired but have trouble sleeping, hungry all the time, thirsty all the time, and b***s are experiencing a burning like sensation and throbbing off and on. now , I am not asking if I am pregnant but how likely is it that I COULD be? I need all the answers I can get and I would like to know what signs did other people have before missing af or test ing that lead them to think that they may be pregnant?

Answer 1

The likelihood that you're experiencing real pregnancy symptoms at 8dpo is pretty low considering the fertilized egg hasn't really had a chance to implant.  Pregnancy symptoms are caused by the hormone HCG which is only released after implantation has occurred and usually not in significant enough amounts to cause symptoms until a few days or weeks have gone by.

However, if it is possible that you ovulated a couple of days earlier than your guess, then the likelihood that these are real pregnancy symptoms increases.

Answer 2

At 8dpo its too early to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Yes i think you timed bd perfectly but implantation only occurs between 7 - 11 dpo so its far too early to be experiencing symptoms

Answer 3

Very possible.  I am like you, I am ttc.  My last cycle was 7/29, my husband and I baby danced 8/12, then I felt myself ovulating 8/13 but we did not have a chance to bd again until 8/16.  However, since the 15th I have felt tired, headaches everyday, some nausea on and off, metallic taste in mouth, backache, crampy.  So, that would have been feeling symptoms at only 2 dpo.  These are the same symptoms I felt in my last pregnancy, so I am wondering...and hoping.  

It sounds to me like you have a good chance at being preggo, wait until the day you expect AF and do a test if she doesn't show.  Good luck!
