I had my period that finished last week and 2 days later I have sore breasts, back pain, heart burn, feeling tired and can smell things more .Can I still be pregnant and thought I had a period but it wasn't ? I have a 1 year old who when I carried him from finding out till I had him 7 months I bled every time I went to the loo they said my placenta was low . What do I do? Shall I take a test or wait a while? Or could it be something else?

I am on birth control (although i'll admit im not perfect at keeping up on the time I take it) and my husband sometimes uses condoms but general pull out method as we are not trying. However ever since my period ended 11 days ago I have been getting cramps off and on like I am expecting to start my period. They are easing up though and not as often now. I understand that pregnancy could be an option since I suck at keeping up on my BC and we walk a dangerous line with pull out but why would the cramping start that early? Im wondering if it was something from right before my last period?

I am 37 y/o and have five kids. My youngest is 15 m/o. My husband and I have been very careful and I've gotten my period, though not regularly. I'm still nursing. However, this month my period was not normal (for me) and lasted almost 8 days with terrible cramps. The cramps are low and in my back as well. It's been two weeks since my last day and I'm still cramping. I've been tired and hungry, but that can be explained by having five kids. I live in a very rural area, and it's quite a drive to the doctor or clinic. Am I being paranoid about being pregnant? My husband jokes about winding up on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" but tbh I don't think It's funny. Should I bite the bullet and trek into town? Thank you!

Hello ladies.. I've been having pregnancy symptoms for the past 2week,3days after unprotected sex with my husband. Light headed, cramps everyday, nauseous before and sometimes after eating. Took a test and its negative maybe because it's a bit early. Pls help! I think I might be preggers.

Hi all,

I'm confused and I need help!!! Last month my period came a week early but I was happy because my husband and I were going on our honeymoon so I didn't think much of it. This month i'm spotting and it's brownish and it's 2 weeks before my period is due so i don't really know what is going on. We lost a baby last year due to a missed miscarriage and we were devastated. i dont want to jump the gun and say im pregnant but I would make us happy if we were. LOL No sore breast but I have been feeling a little sick, no appetite but we all know when you want something really bad you start to believe things when it's not reality. I will take a test but i think it's too soon but I wanted to know if anyone has felt what I am feeling. Your help is apperciated.

Hi, I have a question my last period started on the 1st of Sept. lasted till the 5th. I had unprotected sex before my period, after and a day or two before I ovulated. (Which I think my window was between the 12th and the 15th.) But know I've been cramping for about 3 days now like if I were going to have my period again, what can this be? Could I be pregnant? Please help...

I had unprotected sex on the third day I had my period .. My period usually lasts the whole seven days and it only lasted 4 , we had unprotected sex after that also and ever since I've been cramping on and off every few days since and have lower back pain. It's been 7 days since, and My breasts feel a little sore and heavy and I'm tired more then usual and my abdomen feels a little bloated.

I've gotten pregnant 3 different times on my period. It just suddenly stopped early, so yes you can get pregnant while on your period. A lot of Drs say you can't, but they're wrong.

Hello Anonymous,

There was no risk for becoming pregnant when you had unprotected intercourse while having your period.

There is a risk for pregnancy when you have unprotected sex five days before and on the day of ovulation.

Unless the second time happened during ovulation, there would not be a chance that your symptoms are linked to being pregnant.

Check in with your gynecologist or primary care physician. Seven days, even if you conceived is much to early to have lower back pain.

Regards,
Maryann
