Hi! Straight to the point; my girlfriend has been feeling weird. For the past 2 days; she had experience sorta tender breasts, small mood swings, became a little more tiring in gym, she had lost 5 pounds from sunday to tuesday, been eating a lot more, been pretty stressed and have been experiencing small headaches. She had her period around 2 weeks ago. Now today everything has sorta died down but... could all these signs be possible she's pregnant?

Thank you for your response.

Hmmm, if she had her period two weeks ago, there's a possibility that she is pregnant - not from this cycle, but because it is possible to have period-like bleeding while pregnant. It's also possible that she was just having symptoms from ovulating. Has she gone on or off of birth control recently?

If her period two weeks ago was normal (meaning typical amount of flow and red...not spotty and brown) then she would not be pregnant. Actually most women do not ovulate (release an egg) until approximately 2 weeks after their period. So she is probably very fertile right now. Good Luck!

off birth control pills

One more thing Joey, your sperm can live up to about 5 days inside the uterus waiting on an egg so if you had unprotected sex last week but she ovulated this week then it is possible for the sperm to have lived long enough to fertilize the egg and cause a pregnancy. So having unprotected sex outside of her "fertile" time is not always safe bet.

when did she go off the pill?


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:40 PM

not sure... but i can tell you we didnt really have sex; it was more like.. clothes on... dry sex i believe?

Sounds more like signs that she just ovulated, maybe with more hormones than normal. Does she have a fever? Your description of the exposure does not suggest pregnancy is likely. Good luck!



MAC_33 - December 13th, 2007 10:49 PM

The pill is a hormone so when a woman comes off the pill she can have several symptoms similar to pregnancy becuase her body is readjusting to the new hormone levels. (Pregnancy symptoms are caused from hormone changes). Anyway, even if you had dry sex, if your cum has contact with her vagina...even on the outside of it...there is a SLIM chance that the sperm could still travel up through her vaginal opening and make its way through her uterus to an egg.


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:49 PM

well... she didn't have a fever.. o_o;


MAC_33 - December 13th, 2007 10:51 PM

Sorry Joey, not trying to scare you...the chance is slim if you did not cum inside her...but not entirely impossible.


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:52 PM

well that sex sorta happened on monday.... it wouldn't have happened that fast; wud it?


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:52 PM

haha it's okay... but yea i am pretty scared...

Coming off birth control pills can produce a lot of wierd symptoms, so if she quit recently that could be a reason. "Clothes on" sex? Sperm are a requirement for pregnancy, so if she hasn't had sex, she can't be pregnant. (barring odd occurrences like someone just ejaculating on her vagina rather in it, which leaves a slim chance of pregnancy.)


stillmourning - December 13th, 2007 10:54 PM

And no, it can't happen that fast. =) it takes at least a week for the egg to implant, symptoms don't usually start until about the time her period should be due, if not later.


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:54 PM

well i don't think she's been on birth control pills.... i'm a lil vague on that guys; i'm sorry.


Joey9010 - December 13th, 2007 10:57 PM

oh alright. thanks there.
