Don't go by the missed period thing some women are irregular all the time like me. I've also known women who had their periods into their 6month of prg!
Could you be pregnant? Most likely you won't notice any symptoms until about the time you've missed a period — or a week or two later. If you're not keeping track of your menstrual cycle or if it varies widely from one month to the next, you may not be sure when to expect your period. But if you start to experience some of the symptoms below — not all women get them all — and you haven't had a period for a while, you may very well be pregnant. Take a home pregnancy test to find out for sure! 10. 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.
9. 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. 8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.
The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)
7. 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.
6. 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. 5. 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. 4. 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. 3. 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. 2. 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. 1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period.
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.

Don't worry to much over this sometimes things happen. You can buy a test that does tell you if you are or aren't pregnant 4 days before your missed period. If you are really worried about this go to your local planned parent hood and see what they have to say and if you don't want a baby then get some birth control and have him makesure the condom stays on.

Sperm can live in the female body for approximately 7 days after intercourse. Most of the time ovulation takes place two weeks after your period, around day 14. It is possible for you to be pregnant, since your symptoms are symptoms of pregnancy. It is too early to tell though as you said. You could also just be stressed about being pregnant and you are not, causing you to feel sick. Take care, and good luck.

The normal time for a woman to ovulate is between day 14 and 19 with day 1 being the first day of her last period. Sperm can live in a woman's vagina for up to 5 days. Don't obsess about it yet. In the meantime, don't smoke or drink alcohol. Pregnancy tests today can detect a positive result in as little as one day past the due date of your period. Worry when when your period becomes past due. Good luck. I hope things turn out the way you're hoping they will. I don't mean to get preachy, but a baby is never a mistake. You'll figure things out.

its too soon to detect pregnancy symptoms this early. it is most liekley all in your head. the first symptom you would have is implantation bleeding (spotting) which happens 7 to 13 days after the egg is fertilized. as well as cramping. this si the egg implanting itself on the uterine wall
you said you are more thirsty than normal so dih you are going to be going ot he bathroom more... and increase in urination does nto typically occur till the 6th week of pregnancy.. so you would be abotu a week pregnant? there wouldnt be any pressure on your abdomen yet... the fetus would be very very small still.. maybe you are just bloated of have gas?
i htink you are "thinking" up all of these symptoms. you thinking that you are pregnant and konwign that the symptoms are.. you cause them.. it happens to alot of people thinking they are pregnant. you read abotu the symptoms and you pay more close attention to them... thinking that you are pregnant your body produces the symptoms.. its happened to me and i wasnt pregnant... you are worrying to much.. as for now i suggest you learn how to use a condom properly so you dont have another mishap and get on some bith contorl pill...
usually symptoms dont show up till 2 weeks to a month after you concieve... morning sickness usualy occurs about a month. after you concieve..
i dont know if you are pregnant or not. but you are probably creating the symptoms for yourself... wait till you miss your period and take a home pregnancy test..

I think its understandable that you are worried about it, and you are probably thinking every little thing has to do with the possibility of you being pregnant. However, you could be prego.. I have never been - but I heard that your nipples will really start to hurt and this is how most of my friends knew they were pregnant at first.

You could be pregnant because you had sex with no condom.
It only takes one time to get PG.

It is possible. you shouldnt make him wear condoms anyway because he probably cant feel nothing. I usually put a condom on halfway so she sees me do it then i dig deep so that it comes off and i can really get down to business. you can tell the difference when having one on and not having it on so if it slipped off and he kept going then he knew it and wanted a kid from you. be flattered. good luck rasing your new born hopeful boy.
