    Probably way too soon but...

    My husband and I just decided to try and make a baby. We only recently stopped b/c and have plotted when I am SUPPOSED to ovulate (I know it can take time for that to normalize after stopping the pill). The thing is- I have been super fatigued and strangely starving the last few weeks. IF I were in fact prego would these types of symptoms start so soon? The most I could be pregnant is a few weeks. I am fairly certain this is just wishful thinking and these symptoms have a totally unrelated reason but just thought I'd inquire. Thanks for any insight any of you might have! :flowerforyou:

    Edit: I have not missed yet... :)

      My first pregnancy, I was exhausted so easily. That was my first symptom, and it started about two weeks after conception.

      Go get a pregnancy test if you've missed your period.

      I haven't missed yet. But if I do you'd better believe that will be my first action! :)

      It could be, or it could be a change in your hormones after stopping b/c (assuming you were using hormonal b/c) Either way, good luck sweetie!

      you can get those early detection pregnancy tests...I bought a box when I though I was pregnant before I had missed my period, and they worked! Turned out I was! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

      I dont know if it was so soon for me but I had these exact same symptoms. but I agree with the previous posters, If you missed your period, get a pregnancy test.

      I have had 2 pregnancies and both started out the same way. The hunger is actually how I knew I was preggo. Took the tests and yep, I was right. Good luck!!

      I never had a period after I went off B/C when we decided to try. I was pregnant by the time I should have had it. I remember being tired and always starving by the time I took the test. Good luck and best wishes!

      I humbly request you be more clear in your title. I click expecting a funny joke about Steve Jobs...read about pregnancy and did an immediate computer u-turn.


      ...and to include boobs or bacon in the title would be downright cruel. ಠ_ಠ

      Too early to tell. Many of the symptoms of PMS are similar to early pregnancy. You'll just have to wait it out. Have you checked out the message boards associated with the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book(http://www.tcoyf.com/). It is a huge resource for TTC info including copious photos of cervical mucous. Seriously everything you would ever need to know about your cervix and its mucous is on that site.

      I would encourage you to live like you are preggo, just in case you are. Start taking a prenatal vitamins and/ or add folic acid to your daily. Avoid alcohol etc. You probably know the routine :) and if you still think you might be preggo in a week or so take a test, if it says no then wait another week and test again.

      It's very early in the game - try to enjoy the ride :)

      Best Wishes on your journey to motherhood!!!

      it's entirely possible. or, as someone else mentioned, could be hormone fluctuations due to stopping bc. with both my pregnancies, my first symptoms were VERY sensitive to smells, and SUPER-sensitive gag reflex. I couldn't brush my teeth without vomiting. it was really fun.

      Good luck to you though, and enjoy it!!

      I was craving Taco Bell and getting indigestion. I was 18, one of my friends said "Only pregnant people and old people get indigestion" so I took a test. I was about 3 wks preg.
