Could I possibly be pregnant?

37 replies

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!

with a first response, I would expect a reliable result by now.

however there are ladies on here who are testament to them not being that reliable till day of period or after.

Hope you get the result you want. x

Jennifer I tested with a First Response on a Wednesday and it was negative, I retested on the Sunday and it was positive now 18 weeks, could be you've tested too soon.

As for pregnancy symptoms I used to believe that there was no way you could suffer symptoms so early on but I knew i was pregnant (I was ttc for 2 years) I had bloated feeling, sore boobs, sickness feeling and I would get this every month a few days before my AF but this time I knew something was different.

I do hope you get the result you are looking for.

We're all different Hormone levels increase at different speeds in different people. If you are pg, it depends on when the bean implanted etc etc.

I would wait until at least Thursday now - hard I know

I don't know how women cope when you're trying for a baby, the wait is painful and I've already spent £20 on tests and that's 5 days before my AF is due!!

Jennifer SNAP! We also used 'withdrawal' on new years eve and Im also worried I could be pregnant! Have felt like my periods going to start for the last week (crampy) and had shooting pains in boobs. last night I felt really drugged, warm face, fuzzy feeling like it was too much effort to smile. Still b/feeding almost 7m old baby but got periods back w the other 2 children at 7 months. Felt sure I was pregnant last night but not as certain if Im just paranoid now. The thing thats making me worry is I had 'fertility' signs the day after. What do you all think???

What are fertility signs?

I've had my bloods done this morning and had a check up with the GP at 2pm and the results were back already and my bloods are fine.

So, took another test today! Neg still. As I am due on Fri/Sat - I'm fairly confident I'm not pregnant because surely I'd have had the faintest of lines on at least one of the TEN tests I've taken??

Shoneshine - when is your period due?

I have no idea when period would be due as I havent had any since giving birth almost 7 months ago. They (periods) returned at 7 months with our other two children. Fertility signs were EWM if you know what that means? I did a clearblue digital,was neg but Im not convinced. Have you had cramps, headaches or a drugged sleepy feeling?Will keep you posted.

I've felt light headed, like sorta waves of dizzyness that doesn't last long, and had really mild sore boobs, but unless I grab them they don't hurt, but just tonight I've started getting bad cramping pain on my left hand side really, really low down.

I tested today, my period is only 3 days away - surely it would have shown up?

I don't feel pregnant. But also don't feel like my period is on it's way. I'm usually sufferint bad pmt at this point.

I know I shouldn't laugh but imagining you grabbing your boobs to see if they hurt is very funny! I know it is hard but you need to just try to chill for the next three days or you will drive yourself crazy. Test again when your AF is due.

I have also been thinking that I am pregnant...I have been peeing loads over the past 2 weeks, my tummy is bloated, I am Shattered and my boobs have been very sore...I have done a test today and it says negative (period due tomorrow) but i had this the last 2x I have been pregnant so will have to wait and see...i am keeping my fingers crossed as if I am not I will be starting IVF. It cannot help but make you feel a bit glum...I know my period is due tomorrow, but I am desperate to find out!

Hi Jennifer and shoneshine i too had unprotected sex over the new years period and i have been having terrible symptoms since

I have been to the GP who has tested for UTI and various other infections all of which have come back as being fine

So far i have done 5 pg tests all at the drs office and one first response at home.

I have never been pg before so i am not sure if i should wait to see if i deffo have a delayed period or if i am testing too early?

any advice would be appreciated
