Too soon to test and unsure if I should

DH and I aren't technically TTC. We're not worried about getting pregnant, though. Now, this past week I've felt weird. That's the only thing I can use to explain it. 

 

From last Monday to even today, I've been more tired than usual. At first I attributed it to not sleeping well, until I did get a great night's rest Tuesday night and was still so exhausted I just wanted to nap. My breasts have been rather full and a little heavy. My nipples are so sensitive it's ridiculous. They have never been this sensitive, not even during AF. My temp has been a little off but since I don't chart my BBT I can't be sure. And Saturday I woke up feeling queasy. It went away then came back right after dinner. It was really light. I had a little Sunday but it wasn't enough to bother me. And this morning...I felt a bit queasy and now I'm so queasy I feel like I wouldn't keep up my lunch if I moved. No fever, no signs of any cold or flu. AF isn't due for a week and a half so it's a little too soon for any HPT to be accurate. So...I'm curious if this screams "pregnant" to anyone? Should I test next week or wait to see if I miss my period? Since it's also too soon for PMS for me and I don't get any of these symptoms during my normal cycle anyway, I don't know whether these are screaming "YAY BABY". I just feel like I need some other opinions before I worry DH by saying "I need to go buy a pregnancy test" .

 

I feel like it's a stupid question but...I also feel like I need to ask it anyway. TIA!

If you're AF isn't due for a week and a half, then yes, this is a stupid question. Lurk. Learn.

Wait until you miss your period and then test.

November 2012: Paratubal cyst found during U/S.
January 10, 2013: Lap removed paratubal cyst and Stage 2 Endometriosis.
January 2013: Unmedicated. P4 was 8.4. Meds recommended.
February 2013: Femara 2.5 mg and TI. P4 was 8.5. Meds will be doubled next cycle.
March 2013: Femara 5 mg and TI. P4 was over 11.
April 2013: Femara 5 mg and IUI#1. P4 was 11.4. Post wash over 40 million.

It screams Not Pregnant to me.  If your period is due in 10 days, then you aren't pregnant unless you Ovulated way early, which you can't know because you aren't temping.

I'd wait 2 weeks (since your period is kind of/sort of/maybe due in 10 days) then test.  And test again a week after that.  Unless you get your period.

tl;dr

If you're pregnant enough for symptoms, then you're pregnant enough to turn a pregnancy test positive.  Also keep in mind that every.single.early pregnancy symptom is the same as PMS symptoms.

It is probably too early to test which means it is probably too early for pregnancy symptoms. If your symptoms are truly due to pregnancy then you would have enough HCG in your system to turn a test positive. Take a test if you want to know. 

I'm not sure what you mean by your temperature is a little off if you don't chart your BBT? Are you just taking your temperature at random points during the day? Temperature variations throughout the day don't mean anything.

It screams something alright.

Take a test, if it is negative take another one tomorrow or in a few days or whenever and repeat until you get +HPT, you get your period or you hit CD60 (at which time you should call your doctor).

Me Dx: Weak Ovulation / Total Thyroid Removal
DH Dx: Mild MFI (borderline all 3), Varicocele

Clomid 50mg + TI = Poor Response
Clomid 100mg + TI (x2) = BFNs

Take a test.  If it's negative you are not pregnant or it's too early to test.  If it's positive then congrats off to 1st tri.  We can't tell you if you are pregnant or when to test.

The only way to tell if you are pregnant is to take a test. I started noticing the symptoms you are mentioning once I started TTC and was therefore looking for them. Odds are I was having them in my previous cycles as well. Unfortunately, PMS and early pregnancy symptoms are very similar so it’s very easy to start getting excited. Don't look too far into them and try to relax! Good luck!

To me it sounds like you are stretching things in your head, it happened to me all the time when we were in the not trying but not preventing phase - also known as fluck with your head phase.

 First you explained the following symptoms;

*exhausted

*increased temp

*nasuea

then you said you have no signs of cold or flu...... ummm see above.

OP when I was pregnant with DD morning sickness kicked in for most of us on that BMB around 6 to 8 weeks pregnant. It sounds like you may be "willing" these feelings if you know what I mean. It happened to me A LOT when we were TTC DD. :

You should totally test, maybe even up to 2 times a day. But please don't update us about the result of said test because, well, we don't know you and really don't care.

Didn't read the whole thing, but I assume you're asking us if you're pregnant. Take a test.
