Possible Pregnancy.

[ashley_doyle]

My periods are irregular. They come at different times each month, so its hard to keep track of when I'm going to start each month. It is also hard to keep track of when I am ovulating. In the month of August my period started on the 23rd and lasted til about the 28th. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on the 27th, 28th, and 29th and he ejaculated in me. I am now having what I think are symptoms or I'm just crazy, of being pregnant. It started on the 30th with a "feeling" I don't know how to explain this feeling, my boyfriend keeps getting me to try and explain it and I just can't. Now it's the 2nd of September and I'm starting to have some mild cramps in the abdomen and lower back. Is it to soon to start feeling like this, am I crazy, or is there a possibility that I might actually be pregnant? I hope I am, we have been trying for a while now, and I know it's to soon to test. Has anyone ever felt like this before and ended up pregnant? I could sure use the help.
Thanks

Ooo. I missed that you had just come off your period when you had unprotected sex. That would decrease your odds of pregnancy even more, because you probably wouldn't have ovulated that soon, even with having irregular cycles. Just gotta wait two weeks and test.

Its not likely you would get pregnant during your period but it can happen.  Symptoms typically wont show up until about 14 days after sex which is also a good time to test.

The earliest you can feel symptoms would be a week after conception, but for the high majority of women this is far too early. If you started to feel them on the 30th, and you first had sex on the 27th then it would be far too fast. When you're trying for a baby, women will tend to over analyze normal day to day things or will read about pregnancy symptoms and start to think they have them. (Not saying you have or anything, it's just very common in women TTC) The symptoms and pains can be very real, but not related to pregnancy in the least. The cramping could be implantation cramping, but it could also just be cramping. For many, the implantation cramping starts around 8-10 days after ovulation but it of course is different for everyone. Wait two weeks from the last time you had sex and take a pregnancy test with first morning urine. If this shows a negative, wait a week or two and retest with first morning urine.

I would say maybe the "feelings" you were having were related to possible ovulation because some women can feel "twinges" while they are ovulating.  If you are pregnant (which I doubt) it would be from your previous cycle.  Typically a woman ovulates 10-14 days after the first day of their period and then implantation typically takes place 6-12 days after conception.  A pregnancy test will usually show a positive result about 5 days after implantation and that's just because it measures the amount of HcG (pregnancy hormone) in your urine.  That's why they say you could possibly have a BFP result 5 days before your missed period depending on when you ovulated during your cycle and how long it takes for implantation to occur.  If you and your boyfriend are TTC there is a lot of information on MedHelp as well as the internet in order to have a very good idea of when you will ovulate such as BBT, cervical position, cervical mucus, and ovulation monitoring tests.  Good luck to you!!!

Although I have been preg 3 times, I haven't experienced implantation cramps or bleeding, So I cant help you there.
But you said you had sex on the 28th and 29th. You wouldnt get crampin that early. The best thing to do is test 2 weeks After you had sex.

Too soon for pregnancy symptoms.  Although some women ovulation soon after their period is over (me being one), it is too soon for you to experience any pregnancy symptoms.  Read on "conception/implantation" on the internet.

[ashley_doyle]

I have been reading some things and some women have started to have "symptoms" as early as a week after conception. Could the cramps I'm experiencing be implantation cramps? I've read that sometimes you can get cramps during the implantation phase, when the egg is "burrowing" in the uterus.

[Cassandrajane]

You wouldnt get symptoms that fast. If you have become pregnant you arestill in the Implantation phase.

Test 2 - 3 weeks after your last sexual encounter.
