Stupid Question

[Teachermama]

but Dh told me to come ask... How many weeks pregnant are you before you start having the morning sickness?

[mkesweetie]

Usually around the 6 week mark.

[statlerwaldorf]

I was 6.5 weeks.

[Teachermama]

That what I figured.

We are trying and I am nauseous today and he was like it happens that fast? I was like no. I wouldn't even know for a couple of weeks. He wanted to know for sure so he was like ask that board thing you are on. Thanks for answering.

Once you start trying every icky feeling, every boob pain, every headache, every twinge in your stomach is going to make you think you're pregnant. Try to remember that you probably won't have any symptoms even the day you get your BFP. This will help you keep your sanity in the event it takes you a while to get pregnant.

[blindyswife]

Yeah, I think with my son, I started feeling queasy around the 6 week mark. Before that though, I did have boob pain.

Generally they say that if you're pg enough to feel symptoms, then you're pg enough to get a BFP.

I've had mild nausea for the last week or so, but no puking. Some people never really get morning sickness, and some people are sick the whole time. There really is no "normal."

[statlerwaldorf]

I get nausea with AF.

[Teachermama]

I knew it was not pg. DH was like yes it only takes days Im like no it does not. haha

[mrssandro]

Really depends. I never got it with my last pregnancy.

[Teachermama]

I mean I know it depends... but not after a couple of days right?

[Teachermama]

because its only been a couple of days. I wouldnt have the symptoms that quick... i dont want to play that game of POAS everytime something feels bad or different. That is going to make for a depressing TTC.

[mkesweetie]

Yes, yes it is. TRUST me on this. lol. It also gets very expensive!

[Teachermama]

I am sure it does.

I told DH if here is no period by Thanksgiving I'll test.

[blindyswife]

Thanksgiving? Where are you in your cycle?

[Teachermama]

I just stopped taking BC. I told you we are brand new to the trying thing. I stopped taking BC the last week of September. Is that wrong?

[FastHands]

How long you have been off BCP had nothing to do with where you are in your cycle. In your PP you said something to do with "a couple of days". A couple of days since what -- ovulation? Or since you had sex..

What she said. :Y:

[blindyswife]

Weighted, I promise we are trying to be helpful.

If you are on day 21 (where day 1 is the first day of your period), you definitely don't need to wait clear until thanksgiving to test.

Since you are just off of BC, it can take some time for your cycles to get back to a normal length. But, if a normal cycle length (28-30 days) goes by and your period is a no show, then it's time to POAS. If you're on CD 21, that would be sometime next week or so. Now, the BC thing can make it so your period is late even if you aren't pregnant, but you'd still want to test weekly or so until your period arrived.

If you have more questions, I'm happy to help! And as pp's suggested, fertility friend has an amazing and easy cycle tutorial that will teach you so much about how your body works. Good luck!

I know you are and I appreciate it!

Ok I am not on day 21 if you count the first day of your period. Also, I randomly had 2 periods last month..... one first week of Oct. then middle of 2nd week. It was really weird. Where should I start counting?
