Hi Everyone! My husband and I have decided to have our third child this year and we started trying in December. The thing is that I am already retaining water terribly, having heartburn, and am as moody as a cat on a hot tin roof. Does anyone else have experiences with the first week or two of conception? It is still too early to take a test, but I am about 90% sure that we have conceived. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated as I am going crazy! Thanks ladies!
Hi Everyone! I waited to take the test yesterday, which made me late by 11 days, and it was positive. I do want to warn everyone though, I had taken tests and had the dr. perform the bloodwork and it was all negative until I was past 10 days late, so don't be discouraged if you get a negative result before you are late. Thanks everyone for helping me not loose my mind! I appreciate all of the advice that I received from you all.
I am not sure why you think it is too early to take a test. I was 10 days pregnant when I took my est, (Seriously 10 days) and it came out as positive as ever! I used EPT, but if you want to make completely sure, you can call a hospital (I don't know where you are, but Elyria Hospital does this) you can call and just go in for a blood test without a script from your dr.
Good Luck!!!!!

Just be patient and wait until you can take a test or go to the doctor. Some women are so desperate to get pregnant that they wind up tricking themselves into thinking they have symptoms. Don't forget it is also the holidays and typically a stressful time for some people, which could also account for some of the symptoms you are experience.
Typically one does not have symptoms until 6 days after conception at the earliest, since that is when implantation would occur. It is quite possible that you could have had implantation, with the blastocyst (what the fertilized egg is now called) starting to make connections with the uterus, creating the placenta, and triggering hormonal/chemical changes within the body.
Fortunately you will only have to wait about another week to find out. Do a home test or schedule an appointment with your physician. Good luck!
I'd take a test Mindy, they can tell as early as what? 4 days into it now! By the pack w/2 tests in it so you can do one now and if it comes out negative you'll have another one for later.
good luck!

I just took a pregnancy test. My period was due last Thursday, but this will be my 4th pregnancy and I don't have any 'symptoms' yet. I took the test b/c I was late and I was a little moody (i really just thought is was the holiday stress).. See and I bought a 2 pack. I took the first one a week or two ago and it came back negative. I took the other one today and well.. it came back positive. So i would take the test I don't think it's too early to tell. Good luck.

Hi M., tender nipples was/has been one of the very earliest indicators for me - I have heard that it works as soon as 2 days after conception really....
I think there are some pregnancy tests that can test some kind of hormone level in your body - and you don't need to have missed a period to try...
My first indication was extremely sore breasts, which started about a week after conception, only I didnt know it until after the fact :) Then, it was all down hill from there lol. I took a test after being a week late, and within a day, I was vomitting lol.
