Okay, first let me apologize for my stupidity. I have a question, and I feel like a teenager for asking this, as opposed to a 40 year old woman with three children who should know a thing or two about pregnancy, but here it goes: Is it at all possible to feel pregnant the very next day after having sex? Last night, my husband and I had sex and toward the end of today, I was (still is) nauseous. There is a lot going on in my life right now, which involves added stress and depression, but can stress and depression cause nausea? Thanks in advance for my ridiculous question, but I need to know!
Dehydration is a big nausea inducer. Try drinking some water and getting a good nights sleep. Your body wouldn't know you were pregnant so soon. I hope you feel better. :)
It could aslo be hormones. Sometimes I get PMS symptoms after sex, including nausea.
Your body hasn't even begun producing hormones for pregnancy yet. That doesn't happen until the egg implants. So I don't see how you could. You can psych yourself up and stress can add to everything and bring on symptoms that have nothing to do with pregnancy.
Of course you can feel pregnant after having sex, it is just the symptoms are not caused by being pregnant, that is just not possible because they egg takes a while to implant and until then you have no symptoms since your body wouldn't know an egg has been fertilized.
A lot of things can cause nausea including stress. When I am very stressed I I have usually problems with an upset stomach. It is too soon for a fertilized egg to implant (this takes 7-10 days) so you won't have any pregnancy hormones until then. If you are worried about an unplanned pregnancy it is not too late to get emergency contraception from the pharmacy (Plan B is non prescription and you can take it up to 72 hours after unprotected sex). The emergency contraception might upset your stomach but at least you won't be worrying over pregnancy for 2 more weeks or longer.
Sure... stress can be responsible for a whole plethora of ailments. But nausea can also be caused by a bit of bad food. Or overdoing something (for example: if you are a runner--you can run too hard/too fast for your level of conditioning and make yourself nauseous from the exertion). Or a virus you may have been exposed to in the past few days. Or, or, or...
The one thing I am fairly certain of, however, is that 24 hours post-coitus, you won't be feeling nausea related to a pregnancy resulting from said coitus.
That is my answer to your second question, btw: "can stress and depression cause nausea? Not the first question: "Is it possible to fell pregnant the next day.." to which my answer would be "I don't think so." Or as the old 8-ball would say: Highly Doubtful
I am calling this stress related. Your body can do MANY odd things when under stress.
Stress and depression can definitely cause nausea. Before I moved to FL with my fiance, the night before, I thought I was going to hurl all night long! It got a bit better when I realized how nervous I was.
Now way. Your body doesn't even release pregnancy hormones (HCG) for 7-10 says after ovulation. You can not implant so quickly, therefore no hormones. Yes, stress and and depression cause nausea. A whole plethora of things cause nausea. If being pregnant is not something you desire, make sure protection is used.
