Take a test and get some peace of mind...

Pregnancy symptoms like tiredness and breast tenderness would be rare to experience this early on. Since you were ovulating when you had sex, the possibility is there, but since condom use is like 98% effective against preventing pregnancy, the odds are that you aren't pregnanct. If your period is due on the 19th, you can take a test that day, but don't test sooner than that because it probably won't register a correct result. Meaning you could get a negative test result and actually be pregnant. If your period doesn't come on the 19th, test. If it is negative, you are probably not pregnant, but if it doesn't come within the week, test again after a week.

It may just be your period coming, try not to stress yourself out, because that may delay your period. You don't usually get symptoms that early, I'm 5 weeks and 4 days and only started getting symptoms bout a week and a half ago, but then everyone id different.
Get an appt with your GP and ask him to run some blood tests this can detect pregnancy much earlier than a hpt. or you can just wait the 9 days until your period is due. Be careful because this has happened to me before and the more you think about it the more you start believing that you are, when really its just your body playing tricks on you.
Good luck and remember don't stress.
I hope you get what you wish for.

You could have PMS. Ok, if your period is not due for another 11 days, it is WAY to early to have pregnacy symptoms because your body hasn't started producing hcg yet, at least not in detectable amounts.
How do you know you were ovulating? Did you take an OPK? Do you chart your temps, take cervical fluid samples and feel to see if your cervix is soft, high and open? If you think you ovulated because you felt a pain (mittleschmitz) don't rely on that.
19 days is a longer than normal luteal phase (the time between ovulation and your period). You must have a very long cycle. You might consider buying the book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." It is a valuable resource for any woman who wants to use the information for natural birth control or pregnancy.

saw this Q on the home page.
so far you have had some good advice about getting a test done.
not so good about the Morning After Pill though. most effective up to 24 hours after the event.
Still effective 72 Hours after the event.
After that I'm afraid your options are more limited.
Best advice yet is go to your GP, and see the Practice Nurse, or even better go to a Family Planning Clinic (if your local PCT hasn't closed it!) The Advice is free, confidential, impartial, and the nurses are aware of pretty much every thing going on. They were young once too you know, so they are not going to judge you or tell you off!
In future you really need to be using condoms though, more for your own health.

I don't think there is anything wrong. I think you are reading too much into it. I would firstly wait to see if your period does start. If it does you have your answer. If not then you really need to do a test. You must stop fretting though. Stress and anxiety can mess up your menstrual cycle and can make a period start late.
Your breast and nipples could just be sore and aching because you are becoming menstrual. It happens to me. I get bad aches and sore breasts a week or so before I am due on.
Hope it helps !!!!

You need to take a pregnancy est just to make sure. Wait until your period is due before you take it so the result is correct.
If you are pregnant and need advice, try contacting www.preghelp.org.uk. This is a wonderful charity that offers free and confidential support.
You may also want to read a fabulous book by Christopher West called "Good News about Sex and Marriage."

If i were you i would jot down the symptoms and wait till your due on if you dont come on do a test and if your still unsure go to see your doc because they can always give you a blood test and they are more accurate and can be done 7-12 days after conception.
Good luck xx

Do a test to put your mind at ease or moreso to find out one way or the other. It could very well be PMT. You're not even due yet. Give it time. Good luck with the test. I can understand your worry.

Even if you are pregnant, it's probably a bit soon even to be feeling symptoms (although not impossible). Yes, you could be pregnant - but there's not much you can do at the moment until you're due on and can do a test.

You could be pregnant. You wont know until you are late and then miss your period. You will then need a test to be sure.
The symptoms you described are also the same as for PMS.
