Here are 5 common signs of early pregnancy. You may experience all, some or none of these symptoms.
1. A Missed Period. Missing your period is the most clear-cut sign of pregnancy. But it is not definitive, as stress or other factors may cause irregular periods.
2. Frequent Trips to the Bathroom. Even before missing a period, most pregnant women report having to go to the bathroom more often. You may even have to get up during the night! This occurs after the embryo has implanted in the uterus and begins producing the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone triggers frequent urination.
3. Fatigue. Utter exhaustion is a very early sign of pregnancy. Fatigue is a result of high levels of the hormone progesterone.
4. Morning (and Noon and Night!) Sickness. Guess what? That queasy feeling isn't limited to mornings. Most pregnant women who experience morning sickness feel slightly nauseated at other times during the day as well. About half have vomiting, but very few have severe enough morning sickness to develop dehydration and malnutrition.
5. Sore (and Enlarged) Breasts. If you're pregnant, your breasts will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the increase in hormones, the pain will subside.
If you have any of the above symptoms, consider taking a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

You could be pregnant, or it could be stress related. If you go to school, or work outside of the home M-F, there could be something in that environment which is triggering your morning sickness. Or there could be something else that is causing you so much stress M-F, it's causing your nausea. Since you are getting a blood test on Friday, I am guessing that you are seeing a healthcare provider and I would make sure to tell them about all your symptoms and get their opinion.
I am very sorry to hear about your dilemma; I've been through it before. When I was pregnant with my son, there were many odors that I could NOT be around or I would get sick immediately. I had to keep saltine crackers and 7-Up by my bedside all the time. On the other hand, my daughter went through a period of time when she got sick every Sunday, and it was due to stress at school (and she was only in 4th grade!).
Good luck, and if it is due to pregnancy, take heart; it usually only lasts a couple of months. :)

Sorry that you're having a hard time! After you confirm the pregnancy and check in with your doctor, consider visiting a really good website on nausea and vomiting in pregnancy http://www.motherisk.org/women/morningSickness.jsp
It summarizes the best scientific evidence available re: causes and treatments and you can speak to a counsellor one-on-one if you wish. There's a recent article posted which suggests that ginger might be as effective in treating morning sickness as medications: http://www.motherisk.org/women/commonDetail.jsp?content_id=823
There's also a discussion forum where you can connect with other women and share experiences. Hope it helps.

It sounds like it to me that you are pregnant. relax and wait until you get the results of your blood test back and then you'll know for sure. Yes morning sickness can happen anytime. Its not predictable as to when it will happen and when it won't. I only had it for 2 days with my son. my daughter usually about once or twicw a week. Everybody is different. Congrats if you are and good luck.

Sorry don't really have an answer to this. When I was pregnant my morning sickness was everyday, not just mon thru fri. Maybe your routine is different on the weekends.

Every woman has different symptoms for their pregnancy. If you are in fact pregnant, your body is just changing and being weird. It does that. I didn't have morning sickness, mine was at night, which was screwy. Don't be alarmed. Not everyone reacts the same and i would be thankful that you're getting the weekend off.

So what is the big deal. It is or it is not. Yes or no. you are or you are not. Why people get so wound up I never understood. What is so special about having a baby. Millions are born every day. Too many millions. Yes I am a father. No I did not think it was anything special.

electric powered shavers are ok yet they do no longer provide you the silky sense you get from a razor. Mine has gold plated steel the place it touches your pores and skin to evade extra inflammation. perchance try distinctive razors? what ones do you utilize now? low-fee ones have a tendency to be too sharp. The venus ones are lots yet they are incredibly sturdy for my section. additionally, appears like your technique isn't sturdy given which you're reducing your self. I used to diminish myself by way of fact I wasn;t careful adequate yet now i'd desire to do it with my eyes closed lol. coaching makes appropriate.
