Or it could just be a sickness... waiting is the only way to find out :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1964070 Sat, 29 Nov 2014 20:57:42 +0000 Mrs. D 1964070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a horrible flemmy cold when I got pregnant with our daughter, I leaned later that the medicine I took would have helped to loosen up my cervical mucous, which probably helped us conceive in the month we were only not preventing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1963399 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 19:06:21 +0000 travelgirl1 1963399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry you are so sick! With my first pregnancy I had no symptoms in the TWW at all, the second I was emotional and this time I started to feel sick at around 12/13 dpo. I do think that was related to the pregnancy because it just got worse from there. Good luck and feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1963363 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 17:24:45 +0000 Corduroy 1963363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the norovirus during my first TWW. I tried to get DH to take me to the hospital I felt so bad. I remember telling the advice nurse on the phone that if this was pregnancy I changed my mind about wanting to be pregnant. She said it wasn't and she was right. I got my first BFP a few months later. Good luck to you &amp; feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1963314 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 15:31:02 +0000 alohaorchid 1963314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last BFP that I got was a week after I had food poisoning, which was right in the middle of the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1963152 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 11:29:51 +0000 Mrs. J 1963152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got pregnant with my son, I had the flu the weekend I got my BFP! That was awful.

Chances are, it's not due to pregnancy since implantation usually doesn't happen until around 6-9 dpo.<br /> The TWW is notorious for making people feel a little nutty because it seems like anything can be a symptom. One cycle, I swore I was pregnant and nada and then two I was pregnant I had none. So, I started putting symptom spotting completely out of my head because it was really disappointing. I only count a positive test as a pregnancy "symptom" now.<br /> The way you feel won't have any effect on implantation. Best wishes and I hope you get your :bfp: soon! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1962896 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 21:31:39 +0000 Reese 1962896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eiiii!! so exciting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1962891 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 21:26:15 +0000 ValentineMommy 1962891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had bronchitis when we conceived. Apparently being sick lowers your immune system, which can actually help you conceive since your body doesn't "fight off" the sperm. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-tww-and-sick-with-gastro#post-1962880 Thu, 27 Nov 2014 20:56:56 +0000 californiadreams 1962880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>makes it impossible to tell if i have any early symptoms! I am currently 7dpo and was sick with gastro all week so my stomach was off, i was puking, nauseous and fatigued....so i have no idea if i've had any actual early pregnancy symptoms yet. Has this ever happened to anyone? I don't know everything about TTC yet, so I am wondering if being sick this week can affect my chances of it happening...but i am also thinking it shouldn't...</p> <p>On a side note, I now totally understand why this "two week wait" board exists. I never did before, thinking it was no big deal to wait 2 weeks to take a test! With my current LO, i only found out i was pregnant at almost 8 weeks because we were not TTC. So this is my first TWW ever and now after one week, it is killing me! I want to know! </p>
