Can I be Pregnant this early?

I am 18 years old and have a question on if i can be pregnant or not! I ended my period on the 3rd and there have been signs that i am pregnant ever since. My boyfriend and I have been haveing unprotected sex! I also have birth control, witch is a shot every 3 months, and this month i missed it because of money problems. Today on the 17th I got sick in the morning and had woke up with clear discharge. Between this time i have had cramps in my upper and lower stomach with lower back pain. I also have been getting very light headed and upset stomachs. What should i do and can i be pregnant?

Most likely it is just the hormones in your body adjusting to being off of birth control. I'm guessing your next period is due around Sept. 28th or so?? I would wait until then and take a pregnancy test using your first morning pee (its more accurate) just to make sure.


Also, the cramps and discharge sound like symptoms of ovulation as well (which is when you "drop" the egg). If this is the case you could still have become pregnant because that means you had sex at the most fertile time of the month. But you won't know until you are due for your next period. Good Luck

Hello. Yes, if you were having unprotected sex, you could be pregnant. Is your period late? But, there is also a good chance that your body is trying to get back on track with your hormone levels after stopping the birth control shots, and your body could be adjusting.
The only way to know is to take a test. If you are afraid or shy to buy the test, go to one of those grocery stores where you can do the self checkout. It's a lot less stressful that way! You have to take the test, though, because the sooner you know the better. Just think about how relieved you'd be if you got the answer you wanted!

You could be or it could be symptoms of getting off of birth control. The only thing you can so is wait until your period is due or a couple days before and test. Unfortunately with symptoms they aren't accurate to determine pregnancy so you could have every symptom and still not be pregnant.

You very well could be. BUT it's TOO early to test yet. I'd say wait till at least a couple days before your next period is due to test.
