Is this in my head or a real possibility?

in 1st Trimester
In the past during the tww all my symptoms were in my head. Fiancé and I BD the 28th and 29th and I ovulated yesterday the 30th. The last two days I've been fine during the day but in the evening my body just doesn't feel right and I've had waves of nausea. I've read on other sites that some women have had symptoms right after ovulation but is this really possible? Please share your stories with me! :)

    How do you know you ovulated yesterday? Let me answer that for you. Unless you had an ultrasound you have no idea if you ovulated yesterday.

    I agree with everything @kristin712 said. It is impossible for anything you are feeling to be pregnancy related.

    I can't tell if you're asking 
    1. whether it's possible to have symptoms of a pregnancy already (answer is no) 
    or 
    2. if you're asking if what you're experiencing is because you ovulated. Nausea could be caused by the progesterone in your system, yes. It is possible. However, like other's said, unless you are temping and/or had an ultrasound, you can't be sure that you actually ovulated on the 30th.

    Everyone's luteal phase (time between O and AF) symptoms are different, and even for the same person they can vary from cycle to cycle, so others' stories would be of no use to you. Take a pregnancy test around the time that you normally expect your period.

    I would also like to say that it's typical here that if you are far enough along to have symptoms you're far enough to turn a test... My guess is that the test will say... No.

    The luteal phase is actually remarkably similar every month and even person to person it doesn't vary all that much, there are limits to how short or long it can really be. The Follicular phase, on the other hand, varies widely person to person and cycle to cycle.

    @fwtx5815 was saying the LP symptoms are different cycle to cycle, not the length. She is correct.

    Yes, the parentheticals were just explaining what LP is, it's the symptoms that I was saying can be very different. Not the length.

    My question is, and I'm asking purely because my now DH and I were careless and got pregnant literally right before our wedding, are you ACTUALLY TTC or just not being safe? Not that it's my business, but I'm just curious. Lol.

    But to answer your question, no. PP'ers have the best answers. :)

    .....wait, what?

    I'd suggest you read the Ultimate Guide to TTGP pinned at the top of the TTGP board. Should help you out.

    It sounds like you don't really understand how the baby-making process works.  I'd advise you read up and you wouldn't be so confused.

    DISCLAIMER: Everybody is different. Every pregnancy is different. This is my own story.

    So the month that my husband and i conceived (this past march) was an interesting month, study-wise because he spent a good deal of it on antibiotics. We were unable to have sex most of that month so we happen to KNOW the day of conception. We conceived on the 27th of March. On the 10th of April, I tested "weakly positive" before a cervical biopsy. 

    The days in between, we were on a cruise. I had bright red spotting on one of those days, literally a dot. It could have been implantation bleeding or it could have been a shaving accident, who knows? I had some seasickness but otherwise, felt completely normal and unaware that anything was happening to me. Drank like a fish. Stayed up all night. Went parasailing. Encountered and consumed tastes, textures and smells that are almost ALL on my food aversion list now. 

    Every month before that one, I expected to be pregnant. Every month I had symptoms. And every month, my period came. Those days between march and april, I had taken a break from TTC. It had become too heartbreaking. It was nowhere near my mind during that period of time. I found out completely by accident and it came as a total surprise. 

    Soreness in my breasts began around week 5. It came and went. My morning sickness began about 7 weeks into my pregnancy. It came and stayed until the end of 2T/early 3T.

    However, vivid dreams began shortly after conception. VERY vivid. Several a night, every night. I did notice the increase in weird dreams but at the time, didn't know it was a sign of pregnancy so wasn't tipped off. 

    Lots of women who become pregnant claim they "just know it" but an equal number claim, like me, that they had no clue and in fact, weren't even trying/had given up trying. The reality is that until those hormone levels start increasing or you miss a period, it's a crapshoot.

    @groovylocks sort of unrelated but I too was on a cruise before my BFP, had a teeeeeeny tiny amount of bleeding on the Thursday of the cruise and a BFN that day. I also drank like a fish, went snorkeling, had no symptoms compared to all my BFN cycles where I had many "symptoms." I was shocked when I had a BFP the following Monday, I thought for sure I was out!

    Did you know that sperm can stay inside of you for multiple days before connecting with the egg when you ovulate? So you still can't KNOW the day you conceived, just because you had sex that one day. It could have been that day or 3-5 days later that the sperm actually met up with the egg and fertilization occurred.

    Call me crazy but I actually had nausea right after I conceived, like a few days later. After a couple days I was fine. It was very odd because I had no fever and no other symptoms. This is what convinced my hubby that I was pregnant but I didn't believe it until a week later when I had 4 positive tests on my counter :) everyone is different :)
