Could i be pregnant...i had unprotected sex recently...?

Question

Hi, i know you get this question a lot and sorry for asking it again!! But am kinda worried. about a week ago now i had unprotected sex twice with my boyfriend and it was during my most fertile stage (around ovulation) and he ejaculated. I dont no if its just cos im worried or what, but now i have really sore breasts and i had a bit of heartburn. I have been getting increasingly tired and going to bed earlier and i have bad headaches...i know it might be too early for these symptoms but you know...its too early to take a test...i just want someone else to tell me their opinion for a slight peace of mind. thanks xx

i am also relatively young.

Answer 1

They could be signs, but odds are you are probably just stressing out over it and causing your body to believe you're pregnant, it's the whole mind over matter thing. The best you can hope for is a negative test in about a week. Good luck to you however you want it to go.

Answer 2

I think you already know the answer to your question:

There is a very good chance that you could be pregnant.

Not because you have many of the symptoms associated with being pregnant, but because you had unprotected sex twice when you were at your most fertile.

I had the exact same thing happen with my husband - we weren't planning to start a family quite so soon, but our son is the happy result.

I'm not an expert, but I would suggest that most of your symptoms are psychosomatic - you're talking yourself into believing you could be pregnant.

If you didn't want to fall pregnant, you probably would have taken more care, particularly at this fertile stage in your cycle. So perhaps if you are pregnant this could be a happy consequence. However, if you're not so delighted, at least you will find out early enough on to be able to make a decision one way or the other.......

On the other hand, don't forget, there is always a chance that you are not pregnant. No everyone falls pregnant so easily.

Either way, you don't know yet and will probably have to wait another week or so for a test.

My advice would be to try not to worry about it until you know for sure that you have something to worry about.

Whatever happens, stay calm. If you are pregnant and you decide you want the baby, you could end up worrying yourself into a miscarriage.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

Heart burn could be stress related, you are worring about something rather huge. The sore breast could be weather could be an uncomfortable bra or something like that. Its only been a week so it could be in your head.....it you are really that worried head to a doctor or take a pregnancy test you can get ones that you can take within days(i saw an ad on tv)...........and if its peace of mind you want have a back up go on the pill, injection or always carry condoms with you and if you mess up head straight to the doctor for hte morning after pill which is effective up to 72 hours after you've had unprotected sex...and don't let anyone tell you its silly to worry about being pregnant, if its not planed then you can worry....just breath deeply and try to relax till you know for definate! hope this helped!

Answer 4

HEY,
I THINK THAT U ARE JUST WORRYING TO MUCH
YOUR MIND IS A POWERFUL THING AND IF YOU THINKING YEAH IM PREGNANT THAN U MAY TURN OUT TO BE
BUT THE BREAST IN THE HEADACHE AND THE TIREDNESS ALL ARE SIGNS BUT
THOSE EXACT SIGNS COME FROM STRESS IN BEING WORRIED ABOUT THE OUTCOME


RELAX, RELAX, TAKE A BREATH AND WAIT FOR YOUR CYCLE TO COME
YOU'LL BE FINE

BUT INSTEAD OF THINKING AFTER UNPROTECTED SEX
THINK BEFORE
BECAUSE THAT LITTLE BIT OF NOTHING 2-3 SESSION CAN COST U A LIFE TIME CONSEQENCES
BE SMARTER
STAY OFF YOUR BACK

AND WHEN U STAND STRONG YOUR LEGS DONT COME OPEN

STOP HAVING AND STOP STRESSING YOU'LL BE FINE
I WONT BUT I HAVE HOPE

U BETTER LISTEN TO SOMEONE
TAKE THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR LAST CYCLE
COUNT 28 DAYS FROM THAT
IN THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE DAY YOUR CYCLE IS SUPPOSED TO COME

GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

I think the symptoms you are having are all in your mind. Chances are you are pregnant that is a very high chance. I know you don't want to hear that but I believe it is true. A friend of mine did the same thing but only once and she is now 8 months pregnant.
How old are you mary? I don't mean to sound patronising at all but if you are that young you should get advice from someone who you can confide in or a stranger who knows about these things. You shouldn't have to go through this alone.

If you want to talk then email me, ill give you my address if you decide you want it. xxx

Take care babe hope your ok xx

Answer 6

That's what happens when you have unprotected sex, you spend the next few weeks worrying about pregnancy. You cannot turn the clocks back now and you are probably best of trying not to worry about it too much and take a test in a couple of weeks. The more you worry about it the more you are likely to feel unwell.

Answer 7

it happens but your symptoms sound more stress related take a deep breath and calm stress can also interfere with your period all you can do is wait if you miss your period don't stress it will make things worse visit your local family planning clinic and get a test they are friendly and are there to help no matter what the out come not everyone falls pregnant straight away and if your not perhaps you should ask about the pill good luck

Answer 8

Well, ya had sex, now didn't you??? So of course you could be pregnant!

The symptoms you have described sound like pregnancy... I have had four of them! But again, it might just be nerves! Go get the First Response pregnancy test and take it! They come in two packs and claim to tell you as early as five days before your first period!!!

Answer 9

try to relax the more you stress the higher the chances that you will delay your period anyway a lot of the symptoms you describe you wouldn't get until later in pregnancy anyway, but obviously having unprotected sex, you run the risk of pregnancy, if you don't want a child then use the pill or a condom

Answer 10

well you could be pregnant since it was unprotected but those can be the symptoms of your upcoming period also. just try to relax a little and wait till you can buy a test. i know exactly how you feel and being so worried about it made things worse. well good luck and be patient.
