I am 21 years old. I am bloated. I have very sensitive sore nipples and breast. I feel sick to my stomach. It's two weeks from my period. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex right after my period and two weeks after my period. I'm getting very anxious about being pregnant. Could I just be over thinking or do you think I'm pregnant?
 
It could be signs of either. Some women experience these symptoms during the time of their menstrual period and some experience it for pregnancy. I will not say that it is too early for you to have symptoms of pregnancy because the first time that I was pregnant- I knew the day after because I had to constantly run to the bathroom. I know, crazy being the day after but I was surely pregnant. Advice on pregnancy tests:

Many home pregnancy tests (HPTs) claim to be 99 percent accurate on the first day of your missed period. But research suggests that most HPTs do not always spot pregnancy that early. And when they do, the results are often so faint they are misunderstood. If you can wait one week after your missed period, most HPTs will give you an accurate answer. Ask your doctor for a more sensitive test if you need to know earlier.
 
Depends what brand hpt your gonna take some can work 5 days before your missed period & some you have too wait til your 1 day of your missed period!
 
i took mine like 7 days past ovulation (the day after i seen spotting) i didnt have any symptoms at all .... never hurts to try! then if you dont get the answer you want then try after your period is late
 
If you had unprotected interourse two weeks after your period, there is a high likelihood that you can get pregnant. (Since you must have had sex on Day 14, which is usually a fertile day for people with regular cycles.). Women in childbearing age has 20-25% chance of getting pregnant every cycle. And you are at a very fertile age (Below 25). So there is about a 25% chance that you could get pregnant.

But only a pregancy test can actually find out if you are and it is now too early to take a test. Pregnancy symptoms do not show up that early and most of the pre-menstrual symptoms mimic preg. symptoms. So what you are experiencing could just be progesterone related symptoms.

You may have to wait in order to take a test. Ideally, you should take the test on the first day you have missed the test. However, there are very sensitive tests these days that can detect the preg hormone much earlier.
 
I have just found out im pregnant but I done a test too early and it came up negative, you need to wait till your due on your period, 2 weeks after your period is the most fertile time so there is a chance you are pregnant! but im afraid you will have to wait,

Good luck I hope you get the result your looking for xxx
