getting sick and pregnant at the same time?

I figured Id post this here, since this deals with you ladies that are expecting...

I read somewhere that around the time of conception, the body's immune system is lower/weakened as to not attack the little embryo.

So Im wondering how many of you fell ill around the time of conception?

I've been sneezing ever since I got preg LOL! Dunno if that counts?

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

I dont know. lol

See took last active bcp on the 24th or 25th....no af yet. Just got out of the hospital for severe strep throat....just curious

 

[Serene123]

Have you tested?

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

yeah, it was negative, a weak negative at that!

 

[Serene123]

It could've been wrong?

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

possibly? im not sure. im seeing the family doc on friday

 

[Serene123]

Ohh, good luck!

I had strep throat when I got pregnant!!! I was on penicillin when it happened. Had to stop taking it when I found out.

hahaha you are joking right?


Ive been feeling under the weather for a few weeks, had some spotting (implantation bleeding?) on 2 sundays ago, and tonight I was just released from the hosptial with a sever case of strep!

Before I took my pregnancy test I got a cold sore, and I just KNEW that I got pregnant because cold sores can definitely be triggered by a lowered immunity and especially pregnancy.

Looks like Im really going to have to talk to the doc about this!

oh golly!

but Ive taken a few hpts and all came back negative. If I took the last bcp (I missed a few and doubled the pills on 3 random days ) on the 24th or 25th, the tests would have been positive by now, right?

also, if the tests keep coming back negative, would the doc be able to tell by physical examination? Like, i dunno, looking inside me?

 

[turbo_mom]

They will probably take urine and possibly blood to see. If those are negative there's always an internal scan

you are so helpful!

well im off the drag this tired and sore ass to bed....ill keep everyone updated, on friday of course.

but keep sharing your stories please!
