Answer 1

It sounds like that is implantation bleeding, which can occur in some women upon implantation into the uterus, which happens 8-10 days after ovulation in 85% of pregnancies.

Since you are right in that range, I would say that you have a very solid chance of being pregnant.

Try taking an early indicator test (something that measure 25 or lower like First Response etc.) at 12dpo, which is when your chances of getting a positive go up quite a bit.

Of course, if you're like me, you would test everyday starting at 8dpo if you thought you were pregnant :) (I was pregnant that cycle by the way, but didn't get my positive until 12dpo).

Use the 1st morning urine, you'll get the highest concentration of horomone.

Good luck! I personally think you're pregnant! The timing of the spotting is too perfect!

Answer 2

There is the possibility. 9 days is not too early, as there are tests out in the market now that are so sensitive to the pregnancy hormone you might have conclusive results within 3 days after fertilization.

Breast swelling is a good description, that is usually the first sign to be noticed outside of the missed period. If your beasts are swelling and slightly tender, if not terribly tender, there is something going on, however the discharge worries me. That makes me thing you might have the beginnings of a urinary tract infection, which are never fun to deal with on the first or second day. Does it burn when you visit the toilet?
Either something serious like that or you are just spotting from pregnancy.

Why don't you head to WalMart and pick up one of those 10 dollars tests and regardless of the results consult a physician to verify the claims.

Answer 3

You could very well be pregnant. The cramping could be the egg attaching itself and the discharge could be spotting. Swollen breasts are often an early sign of pregnancy as well. If I were you, I'd test in 10 days to see what the pregnancy test can detect.
Best Wishes!

Answer 4

You know, as far as feeling tender breasts and discharge- I think it could also be the effects of having your period. However, just take a pregnancy test, it is your best bet. I wish you the best of luck! Being pregnant is a blessed thing.

Answer 5

Alex, you have been reported. What a jerk.

You very well could be. I know it is hard, but try and wait until you miss your period. All the stress and thinking about it will not help. If it makes you feel better, I am going through the same thing. Try and relax!! :) I hope you are pg though!

Answer 6

Yeah you could be. Take a home test to see in the mean time, but you should definitely see your doctor. My best friend had a "flippy" feeling in her stomach like butterflies almost, when she got pregnant with her son. That happened like a week before she missed her period. Good luck to you guys!

Answer 7

Anytime you have sex, you could be pregnant. You will have to wait at least 15 days before trying a pregnancy test...and even then...it might be a little too early to tell.

Answer 8

there is always a possibility that you are pregnant....tender breasts is very common in the early stages of pregnancy.
i would sit patient until your period is next due and if your late by 3-7 days....take a pregnancy test...GOOD LUCK

Answer 9

You surely can be dear. The symptoms normally don't show up up to atleast few weeks let alone few days. I hope you are in family way. Congrats!

Answer 10

Well it depends on when you ovulated.You generally ovulate 14 days after your period,but sometimes you may ovulate eariler or later than expected.
