I think I'm pregnant, and would like some advice. My instincts tell me I am, and I feel like I'm already having symptoms. I have been very emotional, and I'm having abdominal cramps. I know I'm not about to start my period because I just got off of it about a week and a half ago. Anyone had experience with this?

I think I'm pregnant, and would like some advice. My instincts tell me I am, and I feel like I'm already having symptoms. I have been very emotional, and I'm having abdominal cramps. I know I'm not about to start my period because I just got off of it about a week and a half ago. Anyone had experience with this?
*let me add some details.
i had unprotected sex about a week and a half AFTER my period started. I read that you (usually) ovulate 14 days from the first day of your last period. Its been about a week from the day I had sex, and im having cramps like crazy. Its too early to take a HPT. Im going to the obgyn wednesday to get a blood test, but im so anxious to know.

update #1
I WAS ON;Y 2 WEEKS PREGNANT AND I GOT A EPT THAT CONFIRMED THAT I WAS PREGNANT AND THE DOCTOR CONFIRMED THE TEST. HE SAID IT WAS CRAZY THAT IT CAME BACK POSITIVE BUT IT DID. I THINK IT WAS AN HEB TEST (IF THEY STILL HAVE THEM) GO GET ONE. OR GO TO A CLINIC THAT OFFERS THEM FOR FREE OR A PREGNANCY CENTER. THEN YOU CAN ALWAYS CONFIRM WITH YOU DOCTOR EITHER WAY AND IF YOU DONT HAVE GOOD INSURANCE IT IS CHEAPER. BUT STOP STRESSING SO MUCH BECAUSE IF YOU ARE ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE WHEN YOU FIND OUT. THE STRESS WITH GET TO YOU.

Each time I was pregnant, I just "knew".... but then again, there were other times when my instincts lead me to believe that I was pregnant, but wasn't.
Since your period ended only a week and a half ago, you should be ovulating in the next few days. I don't necessarily think that you are pregnant at this time, but anything is possible.
If you WANT to get pregnant, start having tons of sex - now and for the next week.
Try taking a HPT and see how it goes. You could just be having some wacky hormonal troubles.
******EDIT****** (Added for the additional details.)
Okay... so you had your period a week and a half ago, and had sex a week and a half after your period started.... Which means you JUST had the unprotected sex recently. If this is the case, and you POSSIBLY JUST CONCEIVED, and not even a blood test could confirm a pregnancy on Wednesday. You may not even be ovulating yet though.... You'll have to wait about another a couple of weeks longer, or whenever you missed your period in order to test for pregnancy.
****** SECOND EDIT******
I just read where you answered another person's question, and you provided the actual dates, instead of something vague, like in the above question.
Here's your answer:
"My period started on the 16th as well, and i think it ended on the 20th or 21st, but it all depends on when you had sex. I'm in the same situation of not knowing if I'm pregnant or not. Normally you don't get pregnant unless you're ovulating, but it is possible. You normally ovulate 14 days after the first day of your last period. I had sex on the (late) 26th, (early) 27th, and i think I'm pregnant. But normally home pregnancy tests aren't accurate until you've missed a period. That's why I'm going to the doctor on Wednesday to get a blood pregnancy test. They can tell 6-8 days after conception. You might look into that.
Good Luck!"
The first day of you period was the 16th.
If you were ovulating, it was PROBABLY sometime around the 30th, yesterday....
You had sex on the 26 and 27th.
Your chances of being pregnant are good. Sperm usually taken 72 hours to die off, which means it's possible that some sperm were still lingering around on the 30th.
It could take several days for the fertilized egg to implant inside the uterus, if you're having a blood test for pregnancy done on Wednesday, it will probably still be negative. Reschedule your appointment for AT LEAST ONE MORE WEEK from now, or wait until you miss your period, around the 19th or so of this month. You can take an early HPT, like First Response, which tests for HCG up to five days before a missed period. If you do that, then take the test on between the 14-16th of this month.
Again, if you're wanting to conceive, then have some more sex today and for the next few days, just to be sure.

Just go see a doctor! Use protection or get on birth control so you want have to ask these kinds of questions on here.

If you just ended your period, more than likely you are just ovulating. It is way to soon to be feeling any symptoms.

if you have stopped your period a week and a half ago its most likely that your not pregnant it could be that your ovulating though.
