I need advice on whether or not you think it's likely that I'm pregnant?

Question

I'm not sure if it's even possible I'm pregnant. Yes, I had unprotected sex one time. I understand that's all it takes.
But it's been about 3-5 weeks [I'm sorry. I didn't memorize when I did the deed]
I had my period.. or what I thought was my period.. about a week ago.
Someone told me that even though you have your period doesn't mean you can't be pregnant.

Another thing that's just confusing me is this:
If my periods are normally 7 or 8 days each, and this last period I had only lasted for 3 or maybe 4 days, is it possibly that I'm pregnant and that was spotting?

I was having fun at a New Year's party and sang it's a small world in a high pitch voice by using Helium. The last 3 days I've been getting/feeling sick. I thought I possibly got Helium poisoning and it screwed up my system a lot .. is it possible that I'm wrong and that that's morning sickness?

I'm getting a pregnancy test tomorrow, but I thought my period arrived and pregnancy was for sure not there.
Help?

Answer 1

The odds are against you being pregnant but you are having a couple of signs and so the test is a good idea. I once knew a girl who had her period for 5 months of her pregnancy so yes you can have periods and be pregnant. The periods were just lighter than normal. Never heard of helium making anyone sick either. Course you could just have a bug, get the test so you know. Good luck.

Answer 2

Hiya, Im 8 months pregnant and had some spotting in early pregnacy, It could well have been a period that you had, but alot of women bleed in first few weeks of pregnancy which is known as Implantation bleeding and useually lasts 3-4 days. so easily confused.
If you are feeling sick aswell it sounds more likely..
Are your breasts sore at all?? << This was my first sign of pregnancy, plus i was feeling so tiered all the time and needed to take naps during the day.
You wont know for sure until you take the pregnancy test, Good luck hope everything works out for the best xx

Answer 3

It is a possibility that you may be pregnant. I actually had a false period at the very beginning of my last pregnancy. The MD informed me that it was actually the embroy embedding into my uterus and caused some bleeding. I spotted for like a couple days and mistakenly thought it was a period. But also your hormones may be off track and causing a shorter period than usually also. The only way you'll know for sure is to be examined by a MD. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Don't go all out on buying a high priced test cause Surprisingly, cheap tests purchased at dollar stores or on the Internet are often more sensitive and reliable than expensive store brands. HPT's are like soda: very cheap to make, and marked up quite a bit for retail.


Pregnancy Symptoms — Early Signs of Pregnancy
Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.

Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.

Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.

Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test

Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.

Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.

Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.

Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.

Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.

Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.

Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.

Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.

Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.

Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.

Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

Other Explanations: Poor diet, lack of a certain nutrient, stress, depression, or impending menstruation.

Answer 5

Helium poisoning is very difficult to do. It takes a complex setup, a whole lot of helium, and that doesn't happen sucking balloons at a party. You don't have helium poisioning. More likely that you are pregnant.
