For those of you who have had 2+ kids...
Hello all!!!
I have kind of a silly question...
I have a 7 month old son and am on birth control bills.
I miscarried last month...
I missed one pill in the very beginning of the pack (like, three pills in) and ended up BD that night. The next day I doubled up and have been taking it faithfully since..
my question is, how soon do pregnancy symptoms appear after you already have a child? I am well aware that I am very fertile and my boyfriend has great swimmers... and I have been experiencing breast tenderness and extreme fatigue. The only time I have ever felt this tired was when I was pregnant. That was about a week ago or so. So I'm not sure if the tender breasts are from the BC (which it has never done that before...) and the fatigue from a cold (which I am recovered from..) I think it's too early to be showing signs of pregnancy...
I know that you start showing earlier and stuff... but do the symptoms appear earlier too? Also how probable is it to get pregnant so soon after your period? I was under the impression it needs to be around ovulation. But I just wanted to make sure so that I am not freaking out here 
Thanks for your help in advance ladies...

I knew I was pregnant with #3 about a week after I conceived. I know it sounds strange, but I just KNEW. I had heartburn ((which I only get while pregnant)) and I got a little belly right away... a lot of symptoms showed up sooner for me with #3 then 1 and 2 ((I got pregnant with #2 about a month after having #1 and I had no idea, because I was still postpartum.. I had no idea what was pregnancy related and what wasn't)) . I took a HPT about 2 days before AF was due and I got a BFN and I told my husband "this is wrong. I know we're pregnant" and sure enough, I took another HPT a couple days later and I was right. My body was showing me all the signs. Don't ignore your body.

Nicole is right-Don't ignore your body!
Just wanted to add, if you think you may be pregnant, you definately need to stop taking bc pills until you find out for sure.
Good luck and I hope you get the results you want!

I agree that i "just knew" also. I have 3 children and i always had a gut feeling even before i could think about taking a test. With my last one i took about 5 tests before i got a positive, but like i said, I knew

I am pregnant now, and with this was, I just kinda 'knew' not to far after conception. I had a lot of symptoms, but was TTC, so I was looking for them. Most 'experts' will say you really don't have symptoms til about 4 weeks in, because there is not enough hormone to make your body change, but some people will swear they know.
What cycle day was it for you that you missed??

yeah, with my first pregnancy I knew when it happened that I was pregnant... but this time Im just not sure.
and the thing is, it was the very beginning of my cycle... like day 5 or something. Which is why i was asking, dont you have to be around ovulation sometime? It was the very very beginning.. i dont think i am but I just couldnt explain the extremely tender breasts, extreme fatigue, and the waves of nausea. It could just be a flu tho

With my last 2 I knew it about a week before AF was due. I have really reliable periods and when I didn't start to feel the onset of AF,I tested.
I agree, don't ignore your body. GL!

some people can ovulate during af so there is nothing to say you can't ovulate on day 5, I'd say wait and test , see how you feel in a couple of days, I hope you get the answer you want.
