Am I Pregnant or Imagining It?

Korto: I'm six days post-ovulation and I'm already feeling pregnancy symptoms. My breasts feel swollen and tender, I'm fatigued and bloated. Please tell me I'm not just imagining this!!! Is it common for a woman to start having symptoms this early? Can someone PLEASE share with me the earliest they felt pregnancy symptoms and were undoubtedly pregnant? I'm afraid I'll get an answer I don't want if I take the pregnancy test this early ... besides, it's probably too early for the test to detect pregnancy hormones anyway.

Quite honestly, this isn't the first time I've felt as though I was pregnant, so I'm a little worried. But I can't ignore the symptoms ... I'm really experiencing them! This morning I told my hubby that I think I'm pregnant. He responded, "I think you are, too." Believe me.... It was such a breath of fresh air to hear those words. Because in the past, whenever I told him I thought I was pregnant, his usual response was, "You think you're pregnant every month." Although he said this in a comedic fashion, I never found it funny. So hearing him agree with me reinforces my feelings of being pregnant.

Out of curiosity, I asked why he thinks I'm pregnant ... hoping he would say something along the lines of ... you have a glow about you that I've never seen. But instead he said, "I just think you are." Although that's not the answer I was hoping for, I'm glad that we're both feeling pregnant.

Hey Korto. I just wanted to say that I remember you from HGTV I can’t remember the show but I think it was House Hunters. So congrats on the house and the wedding Anyhoot. I am 38 weeks pregnant right now. I had tried to concieve fro about 3 year before getting pregnant. That month I was due for my cycle I was feeling things I never felt before. Sore breast and nipples, fatigue out of my mind, my temp was also high. I hadn’t missed my menstrual cycle yet. So then when she was supposed to show I got all these cramps…and I never usually get cramps but I though maybe this would be a bad month. So that whole day I cramped and nothing happened. Then it went on to the next day and nothing happened. My cycle was 2 days late. That was September 26,2008 my last cycle was August 22,2008. So I decided to test on the first of October. That was my TTC anniversary of 3 years and I got a BFN. So still no cycle. I was like 25DPO days past ovulation. Then on the 10th of October…still having those symptoms I woke up feeling sick. Something told me to test and there it was now 34 DPO and finally a positive test. The most important thing for me was that I felt so pregnant from the beginning everyone though I was crazy except my husband by the way when I got it confirmed by the doctor I was 7 weeks 2 Days along that was on October 17th. Goodluck…I am sending you tons of babydust.
