Could I be?

Question

Its been 3 weeks since I had sex Im supposed to start in about a week but I have been really dizzy is that one of the symptoms of being pregnant??

Answer 1

Dizziness is not a great pregnancy symptom. Mmmm that means that you had intercourse during your menses? (correct?) That would be a bit early to conceive as you usually ovulate (put out an egg) 14 days prior to the onset of your menses. His sperm usually lives about 3-5 days and the egg more like 3 days, which means you can usually become pregnant if you have unprotected sexual relations about 3 days before you ovulate to about 3 days after you ovulate. If you are 28 days and regular that would mean you usually ovulate on about day 14. So sexual relations without protection would need to occur on or about day 11 to day 17. Dates 2 days earlier or later are less possible, but not impossible to conceive. My bet is that you are not... Just an educated guess though. If you did have unprotected relations before day 7 and conceived on day 14 (unlikely) then by day 24 you would trigger most over the counter urine pregnancy tests. So it seems that your at day 21in your cycle and should be looking for a reliable over the counter urine pregnancy testing kit at a local pharmacy to be used in about 3 days to be more positive that you did not get pregnant.

Hi there, Here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Dizziness can be a sign of being pregnant but, I didn't get dizzy until I was HUGE!!! If you do take a test now it could be to early to tell so, your best bet is to wait until about one week after you would normally start your period.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 4

You might be but according to your time line you probably aren't but not all women's body cycles are regular. Dizziness is associated with many things. You might be getting an ear infection, cold, flu, exhaustion, lack of sleep, stress, and so many other things.

I wouldn't think anything of it unless your period is late.
