SOMEONE HELP ME

[bug_a_boo]

ummmm, i honestly do believe im pregnant. its still to early to tell.
i had unprotected sex on sept 1 and sept 5. and i checked this thing and it said i was fertil on sept 3 to the 9th.
and sperm lives in u for 7 days.... and i dont get my period until around the 23rd -28th.
and already i can feel my breasts hurting a little bit. and i HAVE NO IDEA if this is possible for early pregnancy, but last night i couldnt even sleep. my hips had sharp pain going through them. and i had pain in my upper tummy. what is this? could i be pregnant and can this happen early?

These girls are right.
You're looking up symptoms, asking questions, getting excited/worried/stressed, whatever... it's constantly on your mind, and you're pretty convinced that you're pregnant...
That can cause you to get pregnancy symptoms, have a late/early period, etc...
That's happened to me twice.

*First time my fiance's mother and my fiance were trippin, saying that what if I was pregnant... so I started trippin, and it caused my period to come 4 days later than it should have been, and I got pregnancy symptom, after pregnancy symptom, after pregnancy symptom... turns out I wasn't pregnant after all. lol
*Second time I think I mentioned something like, my bb's were itchy or sore or something, and she was like, "OMG YOU'RE PREGNANT! THAT HAPPENED TO MY SISTER!" or some sh*t like that... so once again I started tripping... I wasted I'd say about $30 in hpt's just for them to tell me the same ****... I wasn't pregnant. lol
So be careful about that.

It really is too early to be getting any pregnancy symptoms what so ever.
Women aren't supposed to get symptoms till they're 4-6th week of their pregnancy.
I never had any symptoms sept minor cramping like I was fixin to get my period soon, before I found out I was pregnant at my 7th week.
And so after that, I started getting alot pf pregnancy symptoms.

Most women don't get any symptoms at all until they find out they're pregnant, actually.

If you had unprotected sex on ANY occasion, then yes, you risk getting pregnant.
I would say wait, and give it some time... don't worry about it as much, because women only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month... so chances aren't exactly on our side when it comes down to it.

Wait until you've clearly missed your period before you go ahead and waste you're money on hpt's.
I ended up waiting till my period was 17 days late before I tested cuz I was in denial.
I was all like, "Nah, I ain't pregnant. My period's gunna come soon..." lol And it never did so my fiance's mom MADE me take a test... and that's when I found out.

You could also go to your doc and ask for a blood test, because those are 99% accurate, and can tell whether you're pregnant or not within a few days of conception.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Btw, it says that you're 20 years old?
You should be on the 18-34 forum.
This one's for younger teens, and it's not a very high traffic forum... you'll find alot more help/advice/support on the other forum.

it could be that you are thinking about it too much.  it is way too early for pregnancy symptoms.  try to relax and if you do not get your period when it is due, take a test.  you can take one a few days prior if you want.

What AJH84 says is true. It would be WAY to healthy to be feeling pregnancy symptoms especially since it takes about 10 days for the baby to even implant and for you to start getting symptoms. Also, sperm only lives up to 7 days in PERFECT conditions. Usually they only last for two-three days. And I'm not sure what kind of ovulation predictor you used but you are most fertile about 2 days of your cycle and it is only possible for the baby to be conceived on 1 day since eggs have a 24hour life span.

If you had unprotected sex during your fertile time, then yes, you could be pregnant. As far as feeling symptoms of pregnancy, it is pretty early, but your hormones are already changing if you are pregnant. Not only that, but the thought is on your mind, so if you're actually NOT pregnant, but convinced that you are, then your head could be telling your body to react the way it is.
