A woman has an 85% chance in a _year_ of getting pregnant if she has regular, unprotected sex. So just by odds? A little over 7%.
I'm going to be mostly dismissive about your symptoms, because:
1) you really want a baby,
2) many of them are similar to PMS symptoms,
3) it's early to be certain, but mostly
4) if you have close to a "normal" 28 day cycle, chances are you weren't fertile on the 12th or the week after.
There are pregnancy tests that you can take now to see if you get a positive result. Boxes often have more than one test in them. I'd suggest buying one that has 5+, and test first thing in the morning. The brand "first response, early result pregnancy test" is the most accurate this early. Whatever the result, test again a few days later. Even if you miss you period, start taking your BC pills, and continue testing, if you aren't getting consistent results. Even if you are pregnant and taking BC pills, it's highly unlikely that this would harm you child; moreover, birth control doesn't interfere with the test result.
In any case, good luck.

The chances are good that you are pregnant (but as people ttc know that may not mean much). That is around the time of ovulation for you and those are pregnancy symptoms so you may be pregnant. However, until a missed period the symptoms of pregnancy are much like bad PMS. An early results test may be able to tell if you are pregnant 5 days before your period but if this test is negative, it does not mean that you are for sure not pregnant as it may have been too early to test. Taking bc pills probably won't harm the baby if you are pregnant but is of course NOT recommended. Best of Luck!

Hmm there is always a fair chance. Do you feel sick to your stomach at all? Not just in the morning but through out the day? The symptoms you feel could be PMS but if you normally don't get pms this bad then there is a possiblity. Its kind of early to be able to tell physically but from what you say you have a fair chance you could be pregnant. I've heard of this test (i'm pretty sure itscalled first response) that can sense if your pregnant 5 days or so BEFORE your missed period. I'd say go out and buy that test and take it when you feel ready. Hope I helped =)

WHAAAAA???? So if your pregnant your like 6 days pregnant? No way would you have that many symptoms..its probably pms..bloating, eating, sore boobs = PMS. Just dont take the pills on the 1st day and take the test. If you have to have sex with a rubber this month and skip them and start over next month if your not. But if you wanna be pregnant anyway then why the hell bother with the pills at all? And think twice before getting pregnant by some good lay. Its bad enough raising kids with a man you love..never mind some prick who was just a sperm donor.

You definitely could be preggo....but you really would not be having any symptoms this early.....it sounds more like PMS. There are some home pregnancy test that can detect pregnancy a few days before you are due for your period, and don't worry too much about taking birth control pills in the beginning. I don't recommend it, but I took mine for over a month before I even knew I was pregnant and my son is perfectly healthy. My doctor said it is not a big deal because the pills are only hormones and won't do any damage early on.

I took a pregnancy test 7 full days before my period was due and got a positve. The brand i used was Answer.
If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

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. If you have been sexually active and experiencing any of the following symptoms it is important to take a pregnancy test. Find a Free Testing Center
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: Find a Free Testing Center or 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.
