Feels like morning sickness, but not pregnant!

[Nicolab]

For the past week or so I have had what I really thought was morning sickness, it turns out I am not pregnant like I thought.

I guess after my two miscarriages, I want a baby so much that the sickness was in my head. Is that even possible?? Each month is like it's own roller coaster and I am soooo tired of it.

It is so hard to get your hopes up each month, only to be knocked down....again!

Anyway rant over,I just wondered if anyone else had the sickness thing.

My body played tricks on me every month. I had more symptoms 'not pregnant' than when I actually was.

It's a hard road, all the best.

You are right, its hard to pick yourself up time and time again.

GL this cycle for a sticky BFP.

Sorry I am not in the 'after miscarriage and loss' category but I thought my experience might be relevant.
Last year I think I probably had a 'chemical' pregnancy/super early miscarriage, some weird stuff happened which made it seem like I was pregnant (including some MS), but then AF arrived early and really heavy and veeeery different to normal. I hadn't done a test so I didn't really know but intuition tells me it was an 'almost but not quite' pregnancy but close enough for me to get symptoms.
Then the next 2 cycles after that (when there was no chance I was pregnant) I was super nauseous in the week leading up to AF, to the point of almost tossing my cookies at the servo when I could smell petrol. I had never had nausea as a AF symptom before so it was really out of character. I went to my GP and we did a blood test and nothing seemed wrong, I was going to see a gyno for follow up (just because I was a bit concerned with the sudden dramatic change, but I got pregnant instead. Since having that baby and my cycle returning I haven't had any nausea again.
I really have no explanation but it seemed like my 'almost but not quite' pregnancy caused things to go a bit out of whack and work a bit differently. Not sure if that is any use or not.

I have had the sickness thing. Every cycle that I have ovulated since my hCG levels hit zero after my molar pregnancy in 2009. It has tricked me so many times.

I reckon it's a change in hormone production somewhere, and it's the higher progesterone that causes it. Taking maca root has definitely helped a lot, balances things out.

I've been getting the nausea this cycle too. Started mid-LP last cycle (I felt pg for a couple of days, just like before my BFP last year, but tests were BFN and then AF arrived) and it has continued daily throughout this cycle. I just had a wave of it a few minutes ago (4 or 5dpo). It's driving me nuts...

Juniper, I'm about that many DPO too. How funny would it be if we were due on the same day again??? (Yep, we've decided to try a month earlier than planned )
