Could I possibly be pregnant?

First of all - this site is IMPOSSIBLE to navigate round!

Right, basically I had unprotected sex (well, withdrawal ending) a few times over the new year period (which could possibly have been my ovulating time). Since yesterday I have been really bloated and my boobs are ever so slightly tender at the sides. I know this is probably IBS and muscle ache and I am just thinking pregnancy as I had sex at a fertile time.

Is it at all likely to have pregnancy symptoms so early on? It wouldn't even show on a test yet surely?

I typed my question into google and it directed me here so I hope someone can help me!

Four days before but not 100% accurate untill four days after iirc.

Too early to test if she's due on the 19th surely? When do those early detection things start working?

sleepcat you said exactly what I was going to.

Jennifer you can piss on a stick for a quid. Hell, you could piss on any stick, really, but for a quid it could tell you yay or nay.

Welcome, and get a test as soon as you can to rest your mind one way or another, would it be terrible if you were? Or would be pleased?

If you are due on the 19th I would guess you ovulated around the 4th, but some people are fertile for longer than others and going just on dates isn't reliable, I reckon if you haven't have unprotected sex since new years eve then you are probably ok??

I have a 33 day period usually, so around 19th Jan. Last period was 14th Dec.

Have I got my ovulation days right? Or am I worrying for nothing?

Oh I have just read up on it and it says the body detects the pregnancy 12 days after ovulation and there it's only a few days since so it's probably IBS and over sensitivity!

Some people get early symptoms, sickness, sore boobs, emotiomal, bloated, generally quite similar to pms, some people are pg for ages before they realise. Missed period and + pg test result are the real give aways...

Bugger! What about the symptoms so early on?

Yes could definately be pregnant. Withdrawel method is not a very reliable form of contraceptive.

There is a fluid that leaks out of the penis during sex that contains small amounts of seman. It only takes one determined little sperm and you are pg, so a small amount is enough to get you pg.
