Advice?!
Had sex 3 times unprotected between the 13-17 day of monthly cycle. I'm now a few days away from my expected period so although I've not actually missed a period I'm convinced it won't be coming anytime soon.
I'm not sure how many of these are symptoms, so il just list everything.
Over the past week-2weeks I've been unbelievably tired, no matter how much sleep I get, I'm exhausted. I'm constantly back and forward needing the toilet, literally every five minutes without fail. Just general not feeling very well. I always have sore boobs so I can't really judge whether that's got worse or stayed the same. In addition to that, yesterday and today I've had heartburn, back ache and have had stomach cramps. They're not period pains, they're more sharp.
I could be over thinking or making a bigger deal than necessary but I'd like someone else's opinion.
Do these sound like pregnancy symptoms?

I realised after finding out I was pregnant that I had sore boobs since I was like 2-3 weeks pregnant and hasn't left since haha, strange how bodies change so quickly. It was the only symptom I personally had other than missed period. Early pregnancy symptoms are different for everyone. Only way to find out is to wait and see if you period arrives and then to do a test if it doesn't.

For me it was the stabbing pains that gave it away. A few days before my period was due. I just knew. And was right Smile

Oh and good luck make sure you come back with a poas update.

Could bebe, though pregnancy symptoms don't usually kick in till at least 10 days post ovulation (you need to have a decent amount of HCG floating around). What you are describing sounds very much like a UTI- might be a good idea to get checked out by your GP and especially important if you get a positive pregnancy test.

again i don't know if its too early to be perceived as a symptom or is just a coincidence but my boobs appear to have grown. (Im already a D and 18 years old so growth spurts aren't likely)

Can you do a 7 day early test? I had the stabbing pains, hunger and exhaustion before I succumbed to POAS!

Christinedonna · 13/01/2014 17:15

i took a test literally 4 days after intercourse and although i knew it was far too early to detect a positive result i just couldnt wait. so rather than buy another one and do it too early again i ordered some online. now i have no choice but to wait until it arrives (by which time i will have either got or missed my period) now its just a waiting game
