1st trimester
Pregnant?! Tests?
River
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum. My partner and I have been trying to conceive. He quit smoking and we've both lost a few kilos in preparation.
But I have a feeling that it might already be happening... We've actually been trying for quite a long time, and had sex during my fertile window 3 weeks ago.
Since last week I've been feeling very tired – really exhausted. I sleep during the day after work, so I'm on the couch in the evening, but even on days when I didn't work. And when my alarm goes off in the morning, I fall back asleep immediately (luckily I have 4 alarms). I also have eye issues and heartburn, and today I've been feeling nauseous.
A colleague noticed I was complaining about fatigue last week and asked if I was pregnant. I thought, maybe... So I started googling and now I feel like everything is a symptom. Of course, I should get my period on Wednesday or Thursday.
What do you think? And can I already take a test now?

If you ovulated about 2-3 weeks ago, as you say, you should definitely be able to test by now. -

2 weeks ago I saw that I had typed 3 and now I have to be on my period on Wed or Thu.
But I always thought you could only test on the first day of your period, but I also read about early tests. -

Normally, you can definitely test 14 days after ovulation, but then you need to be sure about your ovulation. I already tested 10 days after my ovulation with the one from Kruidvat, 2 for €5, and it was slightly positive. -

Ok, thanks! I can buy the test and test on Monday morning. -

Early tests aren't always reliable. I did an early test 4 days before my expected period. It was negative. 4 days later, still not having my period, I took another test and that one was positive. -

If she had a late implantation, it could indeed still show negative. And there's always a risk with multiple tests; even if positive, you could still get your period.
