Hi,
Just got a positive pregnancy result this morning, the first day of my missed period, hooray! :-) I've been having some early pregnancy signs for about a week now, I've had tender and enlarged breasts.

Since yesterday, I've been also having some flu-like symptoms, runny nose, lethargy and sneezing, and I hardly ever get sick. My basal temperature rose after ovulation, and had a smaller increase about 6 days after ovulation. I'm thinking that the symptoms are ways for my body to expel any toxins to have a healthy pregnancy.

I'd like to know if other people had flu-like symptoms, about how long did it last? It's also giving me a loss of appetite, but I want to make sure to eat to help feed the growing life inside me.

Go get checked just to be safe, it could be allergies or just a cold but if it's the flu, or the swine flu, you are at a higher risk for complications.
