I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period.
i'm also feeling not possible, but I really feeling light cramping whole day long from the day of had sex until now (5 days). If not pregnant, what would it be?
 
unlikely but to be honest i sort of felt like that when i suspected i was first pregnant with my daughter (2nd baby).I had my first pregnancy test when i was around 3wks pregnant but was totally convinced i was pregnant at about..a week. 3wk test was negative, 4wks-neg, 5wks-positive! and i made sure to note down when i thought i got pregnant, when i went for my first scan at 12weeks the estimated that actual date. same with my 18wk scan (although those are 2weeks give or take with accuracy)
 
Well if you have sex while you are ovulating there is already a good chance you can be pregnant. But I am not sure about your time frame here. I started feeling symptoms after 1 1/2 weeks. And that was pain in my breast. But of course pregnancies are not the same. I think your best bet is get a test and find out!
 
The very earliest you can get pregnancy symptoms is at least a week after sex. Most women don't get symptoms that early though.

To get pregnancy symptoms the fertalized egg has to implant first. Implantation happens 4-16 days after ovulation and it takes about a week usually, but can be about 3 or 4 days for enough pregnancy hormone to build up in your system for your body to start getting symptoms (which are really side effects of the pregnancy hormone HcG). If you are experiencing what you think are symptoms before 7dpo they are not pregnancy symptoms.
 
most of the time people start thinking they might be pregnant and then their mind plays tricks on them and they start to think every little thing is a sign they are pregnant, even though they would have never noticed these 'symptoms' otherwise. It is very unlikely that you would have any symptoms of pregnancy until a couple weeks after sex. If it has been that long, then it may be symptoms and you should take a test. If it hasn't been that long, then just try to stop worrying and wait till your period is due and take a test.

Good luck and hope you get the results you want. :)
