a symptoms question????

Question

if i had unprotected sex about a week and a half ago the day after i was meant to ovulate, and i now have tender breasts they feel quite sore. do u think it could be a pregnancy sign this early??? (im trying to conceive by the way)

Answer 1

So, although a missed period is certainly your best clue to a possible pregnancy, it's not a definitive sign. Your suspicions may increase if you have other symptoms of early pregnancy, such as:

extreme fatigue

breast tenderness

nausea, with or without vomiting

constipation, gas, and/or bloating

abdominal cramps

frequent urination

food cravings or aversion

mood swing

increased vaginal discharge

Some pregnant women experience one or two of these symptoms. Some have many of them. And some have no symptoms at all. Symptoms may even be different from one pregnancy to another in the same woman. The presence or absence of such symptoms is no indication of the health of a pregnancy.

Obviously, many of these symptoms may occur for other reasons, or be confused with other ailments. For example, feelings of nausea or abdominal discomfort might occur with a gastrointestinal virus or food poisoning -- or pregnancy. Fatigue may mean depression, a cold or flu, anemia (low iron levels) -- or pregnancy. Frequent urination could be a sign of an urinary tract infection, diabetes, too much coffee -- or pregnancy.

By the time you add the stress of wondering whether you've conceived, either because you're hoping for a baby or because you're worried that your birth control failed, it can be hard to tell what's happening based on symptoms alone. The easiest way to be sure is to use a home pregnancy test.

Answer 2

Yes, it could be a symptom. Tender breasts can be one of the very first symptoms and occur very early in the pregnancy. Or, unfortunately for those trying to conceive, it could be mental or simply a sign of your period starting. Good luck sticking out the wait a few more days!

Answer 3

The appendix is a closed-ended, narrow tube up to several inches in length that attaches to the cecum (the first part of the colon) like a worm. (The anatomical name for the appendix, vermiform appendix, means worm-like appendage.) The inner lining of the appendix produces a small amount of mucus that flows through the open center of the appendix and into the cecum. The wall of the appendix contains lymphatic tissue that is part of the immune system for making antibodies. Like the rest of the colon, the wall of the appendix also contains a layer of muscle, but the muscle is poorly developed. What is appendicitis and what causes appendicitis? Appendicitis means inflammation of the appendix. It is thought that appendicitis begins when the opening from the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked. The blockage may be due to a build-up of thick mucus within the appendix or to stool that enters the appendix from the cecum. The mucus or stool hardens, becomes rock-like, and blocks the opening. This rock is called a fecalith (literally, a rock of stool). At other times, the lymphatic tissue in the appendix may swell and block the appendix. After the blockage occurs, bacteria which normally are found within the appendix begin to invade (infect) the wall of the appendix. The body responds to the invasion by mounting an attack on the bacteria, an attack called inflammation. An alternative theory for the cause of appendicitis is an initial rupture of the appendix followed by spread of bacteria outside the appendix.. The cause of such a rupture is unclear, but it may relate to changes that occur in the lymphatic tissue, for example, inflammation, that line the wall of the appendix.) If the inflammation and infection spread through the wall of the appendix, the appendix can rupture. After rupture, infection can spread throughout the abdomen; however, it usually is confined to a small area surrounding the appendix (forming a peri-appendiceal abscess). Sometimes, the body is successful in containing ("healing") the appendicitis without surgical treatment if the infection and accompanying inflammation do not spread throughout the abdomen. The inflammation, pain and symptoms may disappear. This is particularly true in elderly patients and when antibiotics are used. The patients then may come to the doctor long after the episode of appendicitis with a lump or a mass in the right lower abdomen that is due to the scarring that occurs during healing. This lump might raise the suspicion of cancer.

Answer 4

Tender breasts are a sign of both PMS and pregnancy. Conception a day after ovulation is still very possible. I would wait until your expected period, if you don't get it, test. Best wishes! We are trying to conceive our 4th.

Answer 5

Tenderness of the breasts is often one of the very first syptoms. Unfortunately that can also occur during ovulation, PMS or during the cycle.

Answer 6

its possible but tender breasts are also a common sign of getting your period. relax and take a test in a week or so.

Answer 7

well, yes, I think soring breasts were the first sign I got when I conceived. and yes, it happened very early.

Answer 8

I would take a pregnancy test. If it's negative, wait a week. If your period hasn't started, take another. If it still hasn't started after another week, you may want to see your doctor.

Answer 9

It could be that you are about to begin menstruating. Wait to see if you don't and then take a pregnancy test.

Answer 10
