Probably being uber paranoid...

...but I keep thinking I may be pregnant which is crazy because we used protection. I know in some cases it does happen but my body just feels different. Also could just be period symptoms i.e have a huge appetite (very out of character for me) and massively bloated. I'm due on in about 2 weeks so highly likely that its just that.

Did any of you experience any pregnancy symptoms? When would you recommend taking a pregnancy test - its only been a week so far.

I suggest you test at about 14 days after the time you think you might have conceived and again at the time your period is due.

You might want to look at the "conception" forum (or ask MNHQ to move this to it) as I think you'll find more posters with relevant expertise there (rather than here in 'contraception').

I think PG symptoms before about 14 days after putative conception are pretty unlikely. Random tummy bugs can strike at any time.

Thank you, I am probably just being paranoid but will take a test in a few days time just in case. oh I didn't know there was a conception forum haha!
