My last period ended 18-19 days ago. My
husband and I havent been trying to
conceive and have been using protection.
A couple of months ago I miscarried at 4
weeks. The past few days ive been
feeling light headed, tired, having
headaches, and nauseous. I feel like its
too soon to be feeling symptoms. Has
anyone else had symptoms this early?
Also, im having trouble understanding how
to count the weeks. Do you count from the
date of conception, or the date of your
last period?
Is it too early to take a pregnancy
test?
Thanks for any stories or advice!

If you have been using protection I
wouldnt think that you are pregnant. I
would think that the protection worked but
in some cases you could be if there was a
defect in the protection or a tear or
anything. Everyones symptoms are
different and it is hard to tell you when
you would feel something, but I started
feeling stuff between 7 and 8 weeks. Good
luck hun. Go get a blood test to confirm
if you are in deed pregnant.

Thanks for the response.
I know it would be strange if we got
pregnant while using protection, but I
guess it happens. I feel all the
symptoms I felt a few months ago when I
was pregnant.
Whats the earliest to take a home preg.
Test?

Normally it is best to wait a day after
you missed your period, but a blood test
admin. By a doctor can tell as early as
one week preggo.

It def does happen. Just happened to a
friend of mine in fact, she's due late
aug. Anyway, you can take a first
response test up to five days before your
missed period or any test after your
missed period. I felt symptoms around 5
weeks. And about counting, usually take
the date of your last period minus 7 days
+ 3 months to get a due date. Hope that
helps.
