Can this really happen?

Ok, so I was reading the 2ww boards earlier about pregnancy symptoms. There were all these women on there saying that they were experiencing pregnancy symptoms like 1and 2 DPO. I am really wondering how this could be possible. I mean true pregnancy symptoms are caused by the HCG levels rising in your body, which I thought takes at least a week right?? I know that after you ovulate, during your luteal phase your body produces more progesterone to prepare your uterus for Implantation, but those can be PMS symptoms as well. I don't know, what do you guys think? Has anyone experienced preggo symptoms 2 DPO??

The reason women can feel symptoms is because when you ovulate, a small cyst forms on the ovaries where the egg burst from. It will cause hormonal changes in your body that can cause you to feel symptoms. If you want more info, google "Lutein Cyst" or "Luteal Cyst".

I should also say that every woman is different, so some may have had other symptoms and earlier than I myself experienced them.

No, I never experienced anything that soon.  My first symptoms of all of my 3 pregnancies have been bloating, cramping, and sore breasts.  All PMS symptoms also.  I always got these when my period was due to start, and when it didn't within a few days of that, I would take a test.
