So my husband and I started TTC about 4 weeks ago.
This past Friday, we walked into our local teriyaki joint to pick up dinner and the minute I walked in there, BAM...it hit me - I wanted to throw up! The smell in the place made me sick to my stomach! Off and on over the weekend, I have been nauseous, I cannot stop peeing & this morning I felt very sick, but never threw up.
Am I crazy or should I be listening to my gut instinct & listen to my body - I honestly think I'm already pregnant! I'm really trying not to think about it too much, I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet, but OMG....!!! This soon!?!?!?
Fertile much!?!?!?
What do you ladies think? Am I crazy?
Re: Am I crazy?!
That seems to be an excessive amount of punctuation. You asked if you're crazy, and after reading that post I'm leaning towards probably. I feel like I need a nap after reading that.
I'm not sure how you think we'd know if you're pregnant. They make these really cool sticks you pee on, and those can tell if you're pregnant. I'd suggest starting there.
Good luck.

Wow. A bunch of negative Nellie's here.
I was thinking I'd get some responses regarding how you felt prior to even taking a test, trusting instincts, etc.
This will probably be the last time I post here.
Thank you for making me feel like crap.
You only asked us one question, if you are crazy. We answered.

He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
Don't be put off by this one post. Just realize you are the umpteenth million person to make a post like this, and everyone is just tired.
OK, so I take it I'm not the first, nor will I be the last, to turn to a forum dedicated to women just like myself.....hence the title of this board - "Babies on the Brain" - However, I don't think the negativity is necessary. This is my first time posting on this website, EVER and I sure hope that all the other boards & members aren't as judgmental and rude as some of these responses I've gotten.
Thank you to the couple of responses that were actually, oh, I don't know....NICE?!

" If she is coming off of bcp, the first few cycles off of them can be torture on your body, both in phantom symptoms and in irregular cycles/ovulation."
Which I'm not, by the way.

And if I would have called her names, I'd agree. If someone doesn't point this out to a newbie, they will never realize the hurtful reality of such a statement. By this logic, we should feed I to her ignorance and encourage it. Not helping someone become more educated in a topic that they apparently have an interest in doesn't sound very helpful at all. My comment to her about that statement was meant to be educational, not insulting. Many others would not be as nice down the road. Forgive me for wanting to spare others the pain and her the embarrassment later when someone calls her out for such ignorant statements.

If you can't take responses that aren't all "omg maybe you ARE pregnant! Squeeeeeeeeee! Puppies and rainbows!"...then maybe these forums aren't for YOU.
EXACTLY! I agree with you, msheppard0831 !
And as far as freaking out over every little thing and analyzing each cycle - I'm pretty damn in tune with my body. I'm healthy, I have never been one to have serious cramps, crazy periods or anything of the sort. I'm not analyzing every single thing each cycle - I'm feeling things I've never felt before.......so like I said before....that gut instinct? This is what I'm referring to. And ya know what, if I am pregnant, then it'll be an OMGOMGOMG moment....if I'm not, I'll keep trying!
I know 1 thing is for sure - this is the LAST time I post on this board. This is the exact opposite of the responses I thought I would get where everyone had "Babies on the Brain!"
To everyone that was actually respectful - I wish you the best of luck!
One last thing I keep forgetting to mention -
My comment in my OP "fertile much?!?!" has nothing to do with anything regarding anyone with fertility issues, this was not meant to offend, as it was to make light of how quickly I am feeling this way and the very thought of becoming pregnant this soon......I'm sorry to have offended anyone but I personally do not think that was an offensive comment in any way.
Glad you're laying off the angel dust while TTC.
Pretty much all of OP's symptoms could also be PMS symptoms, so they aren't indicators of pregnancy. I have had so many symptoms over the years and had cycles that i just knew I was pregnant, but got a BFN. The only time I was pregnant (after IVF #2) I had no symptoms at all. I was convinced that it didn't work.

PAIF/SAIF Welcome!
News flash BOTB=/= newly TTC. BOTB=babies on the brain. Meaning people who think of babies. There are several people in various cycles of TTC, TTA, parenting, etc. I can bet a lot of the people who post are thinking of a baby or child at some point. If anything we should push the newbs to TTC.
I would stop hanging out here immediately if the non-newbs stopped posting. That sounds like the biggest snore ever. And I've only been here like 6 months.
