Pregnancy Symptoms?

Question

Ok..I'm new to this. My husband and I have desperately been trying to conceive ever since I went off the birth control pill. I have been off the pill for 7 months. Last month, we had unprotected sex. The time that I was to get my period came and went by. Four days later I started getting some brown blood. It wasn't heavy at all, but a significant amount to use a tampon. This lasted for three days. A week later, I decided to take a home pregnancy test because I thought it may have been implantation bleeding.... but it came out negative. I let it go and decided I wasn't pregnant. Now, for the past two weeks I have constantly been getting sick throughout the day. I am dizzy and faint and am running a 99.5 (low-grade) fever. I feel like my stomach is just turning inside of me. I do not have an appetite and consume less than 700 calories a day. Am I imagining this or what? Is it possible that these home tests would be wrong? I need any advice from anyone please.

Answer 1

I hope this helps, it sounds like you could be pregnant. Have you retested? I would retest every week or go to the Dr to get a blood test for more accurate results. Good LUCK

Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Find a Free Testing Center or Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Answer 2

If it is only been a week since you had sex its probably not pregnancy, however if you have been having sex often enough in the last two months it is possible that you are pregnant it just would not be from a week ago. You can always take a pregnancy test, if it is negative go see your doctor. It could also be your mind playing tricks on you especially if you are trying to get pregnant.

Answer 3

That is way too much blood for implantation bleeding, that's usually just a spot on your panties and that's it, IF it happens at all. If you have a fever your definitly not pregnant, and if you are... you wont be for long. I'd see a doctor as soon as possible. If it's related to your period it could be toxemia (caused from using tampons when your not bleeding a lot and other factors) Doubtful it's related to your period at all though... probibly a flu. If you suspect you are pregnant though and have a fever go see that doc.

Answer 4

It is possible for the test to be wrong b/c it is all about timing. The tests test for HCG which is released afater implantation, and it has to be enough to be found in yur urine. I would recommend testing again and calling your Dr if you are unsure. They can do a blood test which is more accurate.

BTW are you having any other symptoms, like sore boobs?

Answer 5

Sounds like you have a virus. Pregnancy is not usually accompanied with a low grade fever. If your test is negative you are likely not pregnant.

Answer 6

There is a good chance that you tested too early. I would suggest trying another home test. Good luck!!

Answer 7

Exact symptoms I had. Temps, & dizziness!!! Take another test hun, good luck.

Answer 8

u could be pregnant...i didnt find out i was pregnant until i was like 7 weeks pregnant...the test kept coming back neg...so good luck!

Answer 9

Having a fever isnt a normal pregnancy symtom, toxic shock?

Answer 10

i think that you should go make an appointment at the Gyno just in case
