Could she be pregnant?

Question

My friends period began July 3 she had sex the 12th and 15th. Now she has discharge, is tired, increase in urine. could she be pregnant???

Answer 1

She could be pregnant--depending on whether she ovulated shortly after either date--but the things you describe *can't* be signs of pregnancy.

A woman ovulates about 2 weeks before her *next* period. So, if her cycles are 24 days long, she would have probably ovulated between 10-14 July and *could* have been fertile on the 12th. If her cycles are 36 days long, she wouldn't have ovulated *yet*, and, *no*, she isn't pregnant.

But in any case, once an egg is fertilized, it takes at least about a week for the fertilized egg to make its way to the uterus to start implanting. Until implantation, it is *not* attached to the woman's body in any way, so there *can't* be any physical changes.

Answer 2

If she was fertile on the 12-15th she would still have almost two weeks until period is due so there would be no symptoms yet. Now sometimes there is some light spotting one week to 10 days after ovulation but usually nothing.
Two weeks after the 15th, if she hasn't gotten her period she should take a home urine test. Then if negative and still no period another home test. If that is negative she should see a dr. for a blood test-much more accurate and a doctor can determine her state of health.

Answer 3

It's possible. I got symptoms such as tiredness and frequent urination from the first few days and so did one of my pregnant friends. A home test won't be able to give you a definite answer for another couple of weeks, though. If she has urges to redecorate the house and goes off food she normally likes, then it's likely she's pregnant. Otherwise, it could be just a coincidence. Get her to rest up and get a few good nights of sleep - either way, she sounds like she needs it, and if she's still tired after a few days she should probably see a doctor.

Answer 4

Probably not. If she had sex on The 16Th ~ 18th it's possible (providing she has a 28 day cycle). She can take a pregnancy test a few days after the last time she had intercourse... and get results, however it's safest to wait at least 10 days before taking a test for more accurate reading.
The rest of the symptoms are normal stuff that happens. She's just focused on them now because she's nervous.

Answer 5

Yes she has a very good chance that she could be pregnant because the same thing happened to me and i took a test a week later and it was negative then i took another 2 weeks later and it showed negative but the i took one 3 weeks later and it was positive and i made sure i didn't have sex for atleast a month so i knew when i got pregnant. So don't have sex and wait 3 weeks and take a test.,

Answer 6

Probably too soon to tell. All those symptoms could be just stress and diet. It's a little too soon I think to really notice symptoms, it's just the 18th. It takes almost 7 days just for the fertilized egg to implant, and that's when hormones begin to get a little haywire. Wait a couple weeks, until she misses a period and then test.

Answer 7

she must know if the guy finished in her when they had sex.Because that's possible.otherwise just tell her to do a pregnancy test in a week,because right now it's too early to say if she is pregnant or not.That happened like a few days ago,right?so just wait!

Answer 8

Take a pregnancy test just to be sure.

Answer 9

possibly or it's off from having sex. she should wait a couple more days to be sure.

Answer 10

im thinking if she were, it would be too early to get any signs like those from being pregnant.
