I had sex with my husband on day 12 of my cycle and it is now day 17. I am now having discomfort in my abdomin, as if I am about have my period. Could I be pegnant? Or is it still too early to know and the discomfort is just coincedent? (Sorry about any spelling problems)

i think its too early to know. you may need to wait until you miss your period, then u should do a test then. dont think too much. it will give us stress. i was at the same situation with you, and i thought i was pregnant but i wasnt and my period came...late. im not letting you down. i just hope you dont stress yourself out thinking bout you are really pregnant or not. you will get the answer at the end. be happy about it. and be patient. i wish you are pregnant and best of luck to you. : )

The egg would be fertilized on the day you ovulated (the day of conception). It takes the fertilized egg around a week and up to 10 days to implant into the uterus. Once the egg is implanted then your body starts releasing pregnancy hormones HCG. Prior to implantation you are not pregnant. Prior to implantation your body does not even know that you conceived.
It takes a while for the HCG to build in your system. Your body's reaction to HCG is what causes pregnancy symptoms. Home pregnancy test look for HCG to conclude pregnancy. You must have enough HCG in your urine to register a positive. There is no point in taking home pregnancy tests prior to when your period should be arriving. It is a waste of money and sanity because there is always the possibility you could be pregnant and it is not registering because you don't have enough HCG in your system yet.
Most women do not experience pregnancy symptoms until they are six weeks pregnant. Some feel it as early as four weeks pregnant - but that would still be at least 28 days into your cycle. And this only pertains to women who ovualte before cycle day 16.

I'm gonna say that it's too early. You wouldn't even be having your period now if you weren't right?
I know that whether or not I'm actually pregnant....when I *think* that I got pregnant a certain time...I have all kinds of symptoms until I can take a pregnancy test. Isn't it amazing and frustrating what our brains can do to our bodies?
I would simply just try not to think about it and go on about your way. That way no matter which way the test goes you won't be disappointed.
Good luck.

its probably a little too early and sometimes we tend to overthink symptoms when we are so badly waiting for that first sign of pregnancy! I think the discomfort is coincidental however everyone feels things different and to different extents so I am hoping for you sake its the real deal!!
Good luck and in another 7 or 8 days you should be able to test and get an accurate result. Fingers Crossed!!

it may not be 2 early. the sperm can live for 3 days waiting for the egg to be released and you would have had sex a day or so b4 ovulation.
good luck
