Well, first are you trying to have a baby? Even if your husband "pulls out" you can still get pregnant. If you aren't ready to have a baby, you should use proper birth control. Anyways, to let you know that many pregnancy symptoms are alike the symptoms many women receive before or during their period. In my own experience, I started having lower back aches, cramps, and nausea about the time my period was due. I thought I was just getting my period, however, I was very curious as to why I was feeling so nauseated. So I went to the doctor and found out that Dh and I are pregnant. YEAH!!! If you are anything like my DH and I, we weren't officially "trying" but we weren't preventing a pregnancy either. We thought it would be the best situation for us. No heavy burden each month if we weren't pregnant. No prob, it would just happen when it happens. And that why it wouldn't affect our lives in such a way that it takes up all of our personal, emotional, etc time. Many people get caught up with having a baby and forget about the joys of actually "making a baby" and letting it happen when its suppose to happen. I wish you all the best of luck. The best thing to do is to take a home pregnancy test when your period is due. Take the Early First Response test or EPT. They seem to be the best and able to detect the lowest amount of HCG (pregnancy hormone) in your body. If you get a neg. and no period, then go to your doctor and get a blood test. It may still be to early to detect. Just remember everyone is different. GOOD LUCK!!!!!:) I hope I helped.
Hugs,

Okay I am freaking out here. I hope this is all in my mind and was hoping that someone else has experienced this and could help me. My husband and I had sex a little over two weeks ago and right at two weeks ago for about five days during my peak fertile time. Anyway, I have all the normal AF symptoms and am due to start within the next few days. The only problem is I have this one added annoying symptom that I have never had before...about a week ago I experienced stomach virus symptoms where I was so nauseated and dizzy that I could not hold my head up. Well, the nausea has continued, although a lot milder now, and now I have this horrible heartburn that will not go away. I jokingly told my husband that I might be pregnant but he thinks there is no way that I possibly can be because he "pulled out". I, however, know that there is a slight chance I could be. What do you ladies think? Is it too early to test or am I just being paranoid?
