I had unprotected sex on aug. 18th & aug. 25th & I was supposed to start my period on the 28th & I only spotted light pink & sunday I got my period but it was light pink again lasted 4 days like my normal period. Today I felt like throwing up but didn't, had dizzy spells feeling like I was going to pass out, a headache, slight cramp on my lower abdomen, feeling very tired. Is it possible to be pregnant or was it too close to my period? Is it all in my head?

Sex only 10 days before your expected period is relatively safe, but it is possible your cycle was delayed a few days. Between the exposure and the early signs, you need to be taking a test tomorrow first morning pee, and repeat a week later if necessary. Let us know how it goes!

Thank you Grandpa Viv I have not tested yet, wouldn't it be too early to tell? & could i still be pregnant even though I got my period?


Grandpa Viv - September 5th, 2009 6:13 PM

One in four pregnancies experiences some kind of bleed at period time in the first trimester - usually lighter than normal. Preg tests claim to work days before your expected period, but it is best to wait. You are now a week past the originally expected period. With your exposure and signs, a test is most advisable. Good luck!

Thank u so much :) I must admit I'm scared to test, I'm almost tempted to wait to test until my next expected period. I had no symptoms today besides needing to go to the bathroom a lil more than usual but I'm afraid its all in my head.

Sure, it can be all in your head, especially if this was your first experience. A cyst can fool you into thinking you are pregnant, too. Go get a Dollar Store test, convince yourself you are in the clear, and avoid spending the next few weeks worrying.

hiya, im new here

im nearly 2 months late

my last period was the 10 of july 2009, normally i do miss a month but thats normally due to the fact, that my period before it, would be at the end of the month....i did the calculations, around the time i had unprotected sex (but he did not ejaculate) i was ovalating

but today i took a test which came out nagative...

the symtoms i have is low cramping like u do with a period, feeling tired, feelin sick, i even wiped food from my mouth and i thought i was going to be sick....i have lost my apetite slightly, but not dramatically....i normally suffer from bk pain but not this badly, like i cant bend or lie down....

i really duno whats wrong

please help.....was my first pregnancy test today... was negative

Granda Viv - this has not been my first experience my & my bf have been trying to get pregnant for 2 months now & ever since we have been trying I've spotted the day before I get my period & its always the same light pink in the beginning then gets a lil darker then at the end goes back to light pink I'm so confused! I did have ovarian cysts when I was 15 I was told u can still have kids after having cysts is that true?



trying4number4 - September 9th, 2009 12:31 AM

yes. i have 3 kids and have cysts on occasion, that hurt bad. woman get cysts after ovulating, the egg leaves behind a sac that for some woman, go away, but for some woman, including myself, they stick around and begin to fill with fluid and dried blood. They can stick around for quite a few cycles and become rather large, and become painful and when it bursts, like for me..... becomes even more painful, and i have ended up in the E.R for a couple of them because it hurt more than labor does. You would prob know if you had a cyst and i don't think you do. Just relax and take it easy because stress can fool you into thinking you may be preggers and can cause you to have a light period and not one at all and not be pregnant. I personally don't think your preggers, but you never know. I am currently trying for #4. I am 1 dpo, and on CD 17. Good luck, and may i ask if this is going to be your first baby? It sounds like it is your first. Do some studying up on getting pregnant and some studying up on being pregnant, it helps when it comes to knowing the answers to these things. Hope i was some what of a help for you. STICKY BABY DUST TO YOU SWEETIE!!

Hi I'm new to this... My LMP was August 9th. I always get pains when I "O" and I "O"ed around the 23rd. I had unprotected sex 2 days prior to that day. I was expecting my period on September 8th. I am ALWAYS regular usually 28-30 days. On the 9th saw something that looked like snot (I know TMI..lol)and yesterday got a slight cramp thought it was AF and there was very very little there. It was pinkish with a little brown. Checked later on that night, there was nothing there. Checked this morning and there was nothing. Tested today and it was negative. Having symptoms of swollen breasts, lower back aches and being nauseous when smelling certain smells. I'm tired a lot and I eat and 2 hours later feel like I haven't eaten a thing. Any advice?


mzjenn - September 11th, 2009 10:14 PM

It sounds like u r having the same symptoms im having. I get nauseous once in awhile, but lately I get bad lower back pains & headaches everyday I'm not due for af until the 28th as each day passes I'm convinced that I am prego but who knows I plan on testing on the 29th baby dust to u I hope u get what u want as I hope my first bundle of joy is in the way too

Anyone else experience bad headaches & backaches when they first got pregnant?


mzjenn - September 11th, 2009 10:16 PM

hotpinkrocks81 - September 23rd, 2009 6:58 PM

If you have sex, it's possible to get pregnant, no matter what time of the month. Not every woman has textbook cycles.


hotpinkrocks81 - September 23rd, 2009 7:16 PM

I was on BCP, we use condoms (sometimes we put them on half-way through the act though), and I might be pregnant right now??? I stopped taking my pills last week, because I thought they were giving me side affects, but I still feel strange.(I have a 9 yr old, I know what "pregnant" feels like)
I have every symptom imaginable, including a "period" that was just spotting (brown & very little light pink) although that COULD just be from the BCP, BUT I've had three negative HPTs. I took a blood test today, and I get the results on Friday.

I don't know what any of this means, and if I'm not pregnant, then I have some horrible disease or something. Violent nausea, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, swollen/painful breasts (including my nipples, which are always erect now), smells bother me and make me throw up, AND last night, I noticed blue veins all over my breasts and chest, some so dark they look like bruises. This started 3-4 weeks ago, so if I WAS pregnant, I'd be 5-6 weeks, which SHOULD show up on an HPT.

But I might not be pregnant at all and it is something else, believe me, I'm driving myself insane over this.
You might just be having some PMS symptoms, and your period was light because you're stressed out or something. But if you keep feeling symptoms, get a test.


lilbabijem - September 25th, 2009 10:35 AM
