For the last couple days I’ve been a little nervous that I might be pregnant. I’ve had some symptoms for a week or so, but I didn’t think of them as symptoms because it’s so soon (if that’s what they are). I did take plan b at the beginning of the month and I forgot to account for that the next time I had sex. Here’s the timeline:
December 1- unprotected sex
December 3- took plan b
December 13-16 had my period on time and normal like always (mine is only 4 days)
December 18- had unprotected sex again
December 22-28 - according to my period app, which is normally very accurate, I was fertile
December 27- ovulation (according to the app) but normally when I ovulate I have bad pains and I felt nothing that day
December 31- I had a bit of spotting with some discharge. I never ever have spotting.
Based on the timeline, I thought it I wasn’t able to get pregnant because I wasn’t ovulating when I had sex. I also thought you didn’t show symptoms so soon if you are pregnant, but after a little research, apparently you can. Here’s what I’ve noticed:
I’ve been extremely exhausted constantly when there is no reason to be. Even if I sleep through the night, I still feel tired. Even at work it was a slow day last weekend and I kept saying I was so tired and I didn’t know why. I would be okay and then suddenly feel like I needed to go to bed immediately.
My boobs are swollen and I know that can be just a pms symptom, but it never happens to me. They aren’t sensitive or anything but I normally don’t have a ton of feeling in them to begin with.
The spotting that I never have (I just realized tonight that maybe it’s an effect from when I took plan b a few weeks ago). There was slight cramping with the spotting but it only lasted a few minutes.
I’ve been peeing more frequently.
I’ve been very stuffy (I thought nothing of it but I recently read that it can be a sign as well).
My face is really broken out but that normally only happens during my period.
I’ve been a little over emotional, but I’m also a little stressed.
I’m trying to find explanations for everything aside from it being pregnancy. I think I’m nervous, so maybe someone outside of the situation can look at this and tell me if I’m crazy.
I have not taken a test yet. My period isn’t due until January 10th, so I haven’t missed one yet.
So I sound insane or could this actually be something? I’m almost 28, so it wouldn’t be the end of the world, it’s just not ideal timing.
Thanks for the help!
