Could I be pregnant? Desperate for advice!!

[scarlettcarrson]

Hey all, I'm new here and I really need help. Sorry if this is a little bit explicit!

Me and my boyfriend are in a very happy and committed relationship so we don't always use contraception, we normally use the withdrawal method (usually about 2x a week) but 7 days before my estimated ovulation date he did ejaculate inside me, and we have had unprotected sex since.

According to my app, I'm day 18 into my cycle and my fertile window ends today. For about 5/6 days now I've been feeling really run down, waking up feeling sick, having really bad acid reflux and also feeling as if I'm about to start my period (slight bloating and very mild cramping).

Could it be possible that I'm pregnant? If it is, can women even experience symptoms this early? Or am I just paranoid. It's another couple of weeks before I can take a test so any advice would be lovely. Thanks all xx

More than likely you are just being paranoid, it's amazing how pregnant you can feel when you're looking for it. It is too early for symptoms.
That said, you've had unprotected sex and could obviously be pregnant, time will tell.
Good luck!

Go and buy a test. Then you'll know- and you can decide what to do.

And then get some proper contraception and never, ever,ever have unprotected sex again unless you are both actively wanting a baby in 9 months time.

The fact you had unprotected sex could mean that you're pregnant.

The symptoms you're having are in no way a sign - as Oysterbabe says, it's far too early. For most women, a positive test is the first indication they're pregnant - for the ones who do get symptoms before that, they begin much closer to the time at which a pregnancy test would read positive.

A week before my period was due I started with tender breast and took a test the next day I was Pregnan
I took my test a week early.
Maybe take a test now and if it's negative take another if AF doesn't show or nearer to your AF if you can't wait.
The month I fell preg we only did the deed once and it was a good week or so before my fertile window so I was pretty sure ide get bfn but finally I didn't! Now we have a 10month old X

Too early to tell, but you've had unprotected sex so, yes, of course you could be pregnant.

The withdrawal method is not a form of contraception. Unless you both actually want a baby, please go to the family planning clinic or your GP to discuss proper contraception.
