Nausea (and other "non-specific" symptoms)

On my drive to work this morning, I felt decidedly nauseated. As I wrote on Sunday, I'm in the 2WW and thus apt to dissect and over-analyze every little symptom, real or imagined, that might indicate pregnancy.

I definitely thought I was going to hurl for a few minutes there, though. Could it be because I ate a piece of colby-jack cheese for breakfast? A weird recurrence of my childhood motion sickness (though I've never had it affect me during my commute before)? Maybe I am developing vertigo and this nausea is the first sign? Or food poisoning? Or gallbladder disease?

As I sit at my desk typing this post, my nausea has mostly subsided. (I calmed it down with a Star$ caffe mocha and coffee cake.) I still feel a little iffy but don't think I will actually vomit.

I am also tired this morning, despite a full night's rest. A sign? Ugh.

Yet again, I find myself wishing that there were a way to know FOR SURE if I'm pregnant mere days after ovulation/fertilization/implantation. The waiting is awful. I'm sure everyone reading this can relate.

AF is due tomorrow or Thursday, so I should have my answer soon.

  1. I'm a new reader so I apologize for not knowing, but - I take it you're not an early tester?? I sure couldn't hold off testing just one or two days early, if I were you :) Even if the outcome's not what you want. . . I still prefer knowing.

  4. Are you taking progesterone? Last month was my first cycle using progesterone and it made me a little nauseated the first week I was taking it.

    I do, however, hope yours is pregnancy related. :)
