Intuition? Or the real thing?

Lco11

Before I start I know a message board can't confirm nor disprove pregnancy I just need a little affirmation that I'm not crazy because I certainly feel that way.
Almost 2 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex not on the pill, about 4 or 5 times in 2 days. I was on vacation, and I was being stupid, and now my conscience is certainly on high alert. My last period was June 22nd and my "fertile" days according to my iphone period tracker were June 29July 4th. I had sex on June 30th and July 1st. I know the pull out method isn't a method, and I'm almost positive we didn't do it perfectly however, 3 days after I got a "gut feeling" as i was sitting on the beach with my friends that I was pregnant. It wasn't physical signs obviously because it's too early just something that clicked inside of me and I suddenly felt different. I'm in my mid20s and have a very stable career so this wouldn't be devestating I just can't tell why this feeling came about all of a sudden.
Regardless, my next period is due on Thursday the 18th so I went to my doctor today for a full STD workup and told them to throw a serum HCG test in there my urine tests were negative but I know 6 days before missed period is early.

My "symptoms" as now are a very dry nose light cramping nausea every night and a "bitter" taste in my mouth every single night it started when I was drinking a bottle of water and almost spit it out because it tasted like metal. I have been very tired all week, extremely bloated and mainly just feel "off" my friends are convinced I'm driving myself nuts but I can't explain it it doesn't even feel like worry I just feel like deep down I know what's about to happen in my life

Has anyone ever felt this way? Early intuition? Similar symptoms? I just need reassurance, even if this ends up being just worry, that it's possible to be so in tune with your body

Your cycles is almost the same as mine, my AF was June 20.  So you would still be in the 2ww, it is too early for symptoms right now.  They could just be early AF symptoms since they mimic pregnancy symptoms.

The other thing  is you do not know exactly when you Ovulated. The apps can give you an estimate but they are not going to be exact.  For you to know exactly when you ovulate you need to start temping in the mornings.  With temping, and charting you will know when  you ovulate.  Your cycle can change from month to month and AF could come early or late.

You might want to look into Fertility Friend and start charting.  You will not know if you are pregnant until AF is late and then you should test if AF does not come.  

We can't tell you if you are pregnant or not since pregnancy symptoms mimic AF symptoms.  

Even if you had  a gut feeling 3 days after, implantation does not happen to at least around 6 days.

All those symptoms seem like pre AF symptoms but wait til you are late and if you are test and see if you are.

Good luck to you!!!

The good news is that pregnancy symptoms like nausea do not usually begin until around the 6th week of pregnancy!  I am thinking that it sounds more like AF and you are freaking out so it may seem more like pregnancy symptoms. If your period is late, pick up a test.  I hope this works out the way you hope it will.   Best wishes.

I had that gut feeling in January. My periods always came like clockwork and all of a sudden I was 3 days late. I had every symptom in the book, and I just knew something was different. Then I got AF. Lol sometimes our minds get away with us more than we'd like them to.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. It has been a tough almost 2 weeks emotionally! I know many women on here are actively trying to conceive and I imagine that must be an emotional roller coaster as well I have definitely learned my lesson already got the nuva ring pending AF gets here

I will keep you all updated!

I'm 14 weeks pregnant now and I just knew right after it happened. I immediately had sore breasts, cramping, vivid dreams and bloating. I took a pregnancy test 6 days before my period was due, and 9 days post ovulation I was right, I was in fact pregnant. Had cramps for about 3 weeks and then started getting the nausea around week 7. Good luck and hopefully you can find out tommrow or in a few days!

My aunt states that she knew right away with both of her children... She said that each time she felt weird/cramping/etc. the very next day. So yes, you can never 100% tell without a test, and yes, the lack of birth control can make you paranoid and "symptom focused", but it's not unheard of.
