Could I be pregnant…

I know the only way to find out is through a pregnancy test which is likely too early, but figured some opinions would be good as I’m going slightly mad here.

Had unprotected sex around 2 weeks ago, roughly a week and a half since last period. My period is due next week, I’m generally pretty bang on the 28 day cycle. Past three or so days my breasts have felt heavier and painful, so much so a bra feels rough against them. I’m very fatigued, though I’m generally a tired person anyway but I’ve been napping daily. Slight cramps and headaches. Very emotional, crying at ridiculous things and more irritable than usual. Peeing a bit more frequently without the extra hydration. My stomach feels a bit iffy today and I feel a bit nauseous. I’m probably overthinking it all now, likely all in my head… I know this could all be my period coming on, but I can’t shake the fact that I’m always on time. Probably too soon for symptoms of this type. I did take a test today, but it was just a cheap one from a the supermarket. Would it be worth getting one of those early Clearblue tests? Or should I wait until (IF) my period is late?

FWIW, I have a two year old but didn’t find out I was pregnant with him until around 8 weeks and had pretty much zero symptoms.

What did the test say?

Clear blue first response say they work from 6 days before your period is due.

How will you feel if you are pregnant, do you think?

Probably would have been useful had I shared that information initially 😅 The test I took today was negative.

I’ve been right nauseous today and my stomachs in bits, but I can’t see it being symptoms this early on. Think I’m just driving myself mad with it now.

Honestly, I don’t know how I would feel. Part of me would love another child, if only for my son to have a sibling… the other part feels conflicted. It’s been a tough two years since becoming a mum and I just don’t know if I’m mentally strong enough to go through all of that again. I can’t imagine how things would change with another. I probably sound like an absolute horror given that I’ve been stupid enough to have unprotected sex, knowing the possible outcome and knowing I’m so unsure about whether I want another baby…

Take an early response test in a couple of days. The cheapo wouldn't be able to detect this early. At the moment it's schroedinger's pregnancy.

Worth contacting Marie stopes - they can offer a free counselling session and help you understand your options, without judgement.

Clear blues aren't that sensitive I'd get a first response from Amazon as they're hard to find in shops.

Really
Hope you get the answer you want x

You'll have to get an early response test.
Yes it's quite possible you are pregnant
