I have sore and swollen breasts, nausiated by once favortite foods, irratiability, tiredness (am in really good shape and can't even exercise like usual), emotional wreck, unusual heart burn and constipation (which is weird since I eat a very strict well-balanced vegetarian diet with loads of fiber).

SIGNS YOU MAY BE WITH CHILD
1. Tender breasts: Many women report increased sensitivity, fullness, or heaviness within a few days. By two weeks after conception, your areolas (the pinkish or brown skin surrounding the nipples) may start to enlarge.
2. Spotting: Scantier than a period and sometimes mixed with a yellowish discharge, a small amount of bleeding may occur when the developing egg implants itself in your uterine wall.
3. Fatigue: Can't keep awake at work? If you feel tired even after a good night's sleep, your body may be going through the changes of early pregnancy.
4. Nausea: Don't think of it as "morning sickness," since it can strike at any time of the day or night. It might feel like a slight case of seasickness or a full-fledged stomach virus -- or you may not experience it at all.
5. Bloating: Many women mistake this early sign of pregnancy for PMS; the tip-off may come when your period doesn't arrive.
6. Increased urination: You may need to go to the bathroom more than usual, a symptom that will return in spades during your last trimester.
7. Stretching of pelvic ligaments: During the course of a normal pregnancy, the uterus will grow to about 1,000 times its prepregnant size (imagine a pear turning into a basketball). Some women feel their pelvic ligaments stretching to make room for this growth to occur.
8. Food cravings: If you suddenly find yourself ravenous for citrus fruits, red meat (even if you're a vegetarian), or potato chips, don't assume it's all in your head. Pregnant bodies may crave increased amounts of vitamin C, iron, and salt -- among other things -- even from the very beginning.

1) Go to the nearest grocery, WalMart, 7-11
2) Buy EPT for about $5
3) Go home, goto bathroom, take test
4) Wait 5 minutes. Stare at ceiling
5) Look at test.
6) Repeat steps 3-5 one hour later.
Honestly, there is absolutely NOTHING ANYONE SAYS HERE that will tell you if you are or are not pregnant. Stop stressing. Go take the test. The earliest ones claim to be accurate within 5 days of a missed period.
Some women go weeks, months even before they get the first symptom of being pregnant. You should consider that too as you are stressing out tonight.
Go take the test. Answer your own question.
I'm not being a jerk--you need to know, if not for your own sake then for the sake of the baby. There are serious health concerns that need to be addressed if the test turns out positive.
Ok, go to the store now.
Bye.

Ok, you dont get symptoms that that early. Also, you stated you were an emotional wreck. That may make your period late. Worrying about being pregnant can make your period late. Take a test, its really the only way to know for sure. Next time you guys have sex, use protection or know that pregnancy is a possiblity.

Good Luck

Take a early pregnancy test or go to planned parenthood. They do free pregnancy testing. Without a test there is no way to really know for sure.

The only way to find out is to take a pregnancy test.
