I had sex about a week ago and I'm due to have my period in about 2
weeks. He used a condom and pulled out, but I'm always a worry wart when
it comes to being pregnant. I've been having lower abdominal pain lately
but I'm not sure if thats because of my ovuation since it's been heavier
lately. And my bowel movements are kind of making me feel more
constipated so I didn't know if it could be that. I'm just confused
since my period is not supposed to come for another 2 weeks or so.
Thanks!

Hi Rimpy,
Ugh...I know (somewhat) how you are feeling. Having to track every detail, every cycle, just to have the extreme disappointment of your period beginning and knowing that not only did you not conceive, but you need to begin all over again. I'm sorry you are going through this, but it is for a good cause! :-)
The symptoms you are experiencing could be so many different things, unfortunately. Pregnancy symptoms mirror pre-menstrual symptoms almost exactly at this early stage. Cramping, bloating, headache, irritability and changes in mood, low back pain, sore breasts, fatigue, tiredness, gastrointestinal "distress"...they are most likely all related to hormonal changes going on in your body. Both pregnancy and your menstrual cycle are determined by hormonal changes.
The good news is...today is July 22nd, and you are expecting your period in three days. You can test for pregnancy if your period does not begin when you are expecting it to (July 25th), as a home pregnancy test would be 99% effective at detecting any pregnancy hormone at that time.
Please know that it takes your body 10-14 days before you even have a viable pregnancy after ovulation, as it takes this long for your egg to travel from your ovary into fallopian tube where it is fertilized, then it must travel to your uterus and find a cozy spot to implant. This process takes awhile, and is the reason that a test will not even detect a pregnancy until about the time of your missed period...about 14 days after ovulation. For some reason, woman do not feel the implantation (I would think this is such a huge, miraculous biological event that it would be felt and known!), and any fluttering by the fetus is not felt until well into 2nd trimester.
Please let us know if your period begins, or if you take a test on the 25th. We will be sending you good baby vibes, and please keep trying if you do not conceive this cycle---you just started your fertility treatment and it can take some time.

Hi Anonymous
It's too soon to test, but if you used the condom properly the odds of you becoming pregnant are low. The abdominal discomfort you are discussing is probably related to the constipation you mentioned. Try walking a lot, drinking fluids and eating lots of fiber such as that in vegetables, and it should help a bit.
Thanks for visiting the site and if we can help further, let us know.
