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 got my period on 5/22. On the last day of my period (5/27) I had unprotected sex. The first time he pulled out. About 15 minutes later he washed himself with soap and then we had unprotected sex again. Again, he pulled out before ejaculating but it went on my thigh. Since 5/28 I have been having terrible cramping and lower back pain. Two days ago my breasts started getting sore. I dont know if I am stressing myself out which could cause these symptoms or if I could be pregnant. I can't possibly wait 2 more weeks without knowing before I can take a pregnancy test. What are the chances? My cycles are normally 28 to 30 days. :( Please give me some reasurrance that I am ok. The stress is killing me.

I just wanted to add that I dont normally have any of these symptoms when I am ovulating, etc. I did go to the Dr. a week later to get checked for STDs. They did check for a uti and pregnancy, although they said it was too early to tell and that it was unlikely to get pregnant on the last day of your period, but could happen. I think I am stressing myself out because I dont know if I could have gotten pregnant the second time, since he could have still had sperm in his penis when we did it the first time. :(

Since you were on the end of your period, your odds of getting pregnant are lower than at some other times, so take some comfort. However, I've dealt with clients who got pregnant at any point in their cycle, since ovulation isn't always exactly timed. Wait a few more days and test again.
Having sex a second time in such a short time frame is not s good idea when you use the pull out method, but be aware that pre-ejaculate can also impregnate you, so the "pull and pray" just isn't a good method. Consider adding some spermicide to your routine. Good luck!

Hi my period ended around two weeks ago and had sex on the last day of period. He pulled out long enough before he ejaculated. Now I'm having sore boobs and occasional dull cramps especially at night. Is it because I'm pregnant?

Hello Anonymous,

There is a chance you conceived following unprotected sex on Saturday, May 28.

If you have a 28 to 30 day menstrual cycle, you were ovulating around May 27. You can calculate ovulation by starting with the first day of your period. That is day 1. Most women ovulate between day 11 and day 21. You are fertile five days before and on the day of ovulation.

If indeed you did become pregnant, two days later is far too early to have any pregnancy symptoms.

Wait for your next period. If you are late by at least seven days, take a home pregnancy test.

Regards,
Maryann

Hey guys so my boyfriend accidentally ejaculated into me 9 days after my period was done. Since then I've been feeling stomach cramps every day. No spotting yet. My cycle is irregular and next period should be around the 5-6th. I'm nervous.

So I had unprotected sex 9 days before my period however my period did come but it wasn't heavy and I had no shedding of my uterus and no cramps. My cycle lasted only 4 days. However I'm experiencing some mild to light cramps with pain in my lower back. I did take a test but it was negative. I do know that false negative results does exist should I go to the clinic and get a test done or wait and see if I get my cycle for June and ignore these cramps

Do I need to go see my doctor? I took a test but it was negative however it was early when I took it wasn't a complete 14 days. Last time I was pregnant I did have light cramps.
