We are ttc and now im overanalysing every little thing my body does lol. Matlab do you actually feel something when it happens or you only know after the test? Curious to hear ur real experiences.
Honestly, I didn't feel a thing initially, but my mother-in-law guessed it just by looking at my glowing face and slight tiredness! Sometimes elders can sense it even before we do. Mainly it just felt like normal period cramps at first.
I know you might be symptom-spotting and feeling very anxious right now, which is completely valid. Honestly, many women feel absolutely nothing at first, so don't worry if you don't have signs. Just breathe and take it easy.
I didn't feel much other than minor bloating, but because of my past complications, I was very careful. If you feel any unusual severe sharp pain or heavy cramping, please contact your doctor immediately. Better to be safe and get a proper checkup.
In my case, conception was followed by severe nausea and extreme sensitivity to smells within just two weeks. It felt quite exhausting, to be honest! Keep some lemon wedges or ginger tea handy just in case your body reacts the same way.
I am also trying to conceive right now and constantly wondering how it feels! Every month I keep checking if my mild cramps or sore breasts mean I've conceived. It's such an exciting but anxious wait, hope we both get our good news soon.
I can only speak for myself, but I didn't feel anything different at the exact moment of conception. A few weeks later, I just felt extremely tired and had a metallic taste in my mouth. Everyone's experience is so unique.
For me, it felt like a very gentle tugging or mild cramping in my lower belly, and a sudden sense of calm. Now, holding my baby while breastfeeding, those early days feel like a beautiful dream. You will know when the time is right.
