difficulty swallowing?

If I am pregnant, I will be exactly 10 days pregnant on May 21st.  I don't know if this is a symptom or not, but I am having some weird trouble swallowing - like my body or throat forgot how to sometimes.  Is this a sign of pregnancy?  (I am also off my psychiatric medications for tourettes and anxiety - that might also be the cause, but I'm hoping it's pregnancy.)

Pregnancy is counted from LMP (last day of menstrual period), so on the first day of your last menstrual period your already 1 day pregnant, by your ovulation day ( may 11) your already 2 weeks pregnant, and by the day you miss your period ( may 25), your already 4 weeks pregnant, (weird, but that’s how pregnancy is measured). So your actually 3 weeks pregnant now. If you are pregnant the blastocist would be implanting it self in your uterine wall between 7-10 days, so it would be occurring between today and Friday aprox, during implantation you may get cramping, like when your period is about to come, at least I did, with all my pregnancies.

Do a Due date calculator on the internet and it will tell you how many weeks your pregnant and when your due date will be, there’s one on baby center.

a urine home pregnancy can work 5 days before you miss your period but its less accurate, so you should wait till the day of your missed period to be 99% accurate.

This is what my EPT says:

-4 days before your missed period: 53%  accurate
-3 days before your missed period: 74%  accurate
-2 days before your missed period: 84%  accurate
-1 day before your missed period:  87%   accurate
The first day of your missed period ( may 25)  99% accurate.

I would advise you to buy the test on may 25 and read the instructions first and do the test when you wake up on may 26 without drinking any liquids and using your first morning urine ( first urine of the day) cause that way the  urine is more concentrated and the HCG levels are easier to detect.

Remember to use first morning urine and read the instructions before doing it.

Good luck and I hope you get a big POSITIVE.

ohhh, well if he has ejaculated inside of  you other days then there's a higher chance ;),
Let me know if you do get a pregnancy test, also if your going to get an implant i guess they would do  a pregnancy test in your consultation if you havent gotten your period.

No, I have had it more, as my partner is allergic to latex and the non latex condoms and atm Im not on birth contrrol, as i am waiting for a consultation for an implant and after my next period date june. And the nurse who does the implant only comes in once month and gets fully booked so its a case of waiting. HAHA.
So basically you can guess..... That yes I have.

Theres a 25% chance of conception every month doing it the day of ovulation, if april that was the only day you had unprotected sex i would say about 10% as we dont know when exactly you ovulated, i you had unprotected sex after that day your probability could be higher.

did you have unprotected sex any other day????

i found this on the internet.  how far along where you on your pregnancy when your misscariage on april 11 to see if you would have an accurate result with a pregnancy test.


Ovulation is the determining factor on when it is theoretically possible to get pregnant again after a miscarriage. Some women resume ovulating on a normal schedule right away following a miscarriage, especially if it was a chemical pregnancy or other early miscarriage, so it is theoretically possible for these women to conceive again a mere two weeks after the miscarriage. (Ovulation usually happens about two weeks into a 28-day menstrual cycle.)

But not everyone goes right back into a normal menstrual cycle without delay. Sometimes it can take two to three months for ovulation to return, especially with later pregnancy losses, and in these cases it is obviously not possible to conceive again for a longer time. And there's a huge amount of variation among individuals, and no hard and fast rules apply. Some women might take two months or longer to resume ovulation after an early miscarriage, and some women who have full-term pregnancy losses may go back to having normal cycles the month after the loss.

counting from your misscarriage as your lmp (april 11) you would be 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant

and counting from the day you had sex  (april 17) you would be about 6 weeks, and your due date would be on january 8.

in a 28 day cycle you would have ovulated on april 24, the only way you could have gotten pregnant on april 17 is that you had ovulated about a week early or about 48-72 hours after april 17.

you could have ovulated early and gotten pregnant or you could have ovulated late and get your period later.

i you are pregnant then you would be about 6 weeks pregnant and your due date would be on january 8 but you could be about 2 to 3 days off if you ovulated 2 or 3 days later.

sorry i could not help you much.

the only way to really know is to do a pregnancy test, a pregnancy test could give a false positive i you had been pregnant recentley but 5 weeks could be enough for the HCG levels to go down.

i really dont know but if you havent had another period since the misscariage 8 weeks ago, you should use the day of your misscariage as your LMP or the day of unprotected sex as your conception date, wich would be more accurate if you did ovulate that day, wich is kind of difficult to know cause somtimes cycles change after a misscariage and you can ovulate late and get your period later than ussual.

CAN YOU TELL ME THE EXACT DAY OF YOUR MISSCARIAGE AND THE DAY YOU HAD UNPROTECTED SEX?, so i can help you more.

also if you know how long are your cycles ussualy and your symptoms.

Yes, a pregnancy test can show up right now. However, if you get a negative retest in another 4-5 days. What you have going on sounds more like it "could" be anxiety. Is your mouth dry at all? A side effect or antidepressants, and antipsychotics is dry mouth. Put a call into your Dr. and ask him. When you have problems swallowing, it can cause you to aspirate food or fluid into your lungs, and can be fatal. As an almost nurse people with this diagnoses are always on a thickened, soft (puree) diet, to prevent aspiration. It could be anxiety, or could be something more severe, so I would definitely ask your Dr.

ha not even sure what you mean by 3 weeks.?..  Since conception? - if that's the case  I'm on day 7..  I'm probably jumping the gun on this, I'm just hoping too be a mommy and actually made a mistake that I posted about separately...  The other post is consuming me at the moment.

I don't know I am pregnant.  My husband and I are trying and I am hoping.  We had sex during ovulation on May 11th, so it's not 3 weeks yet.. not even 10 days yet..  Will a blood test even work this early?
