Q: Could she be pregnant?
asked by: 5h0rtk1d on August 7th, 2008

I've been having sex with my steady gf for the past 2 months. And there are days where we have unprotected sex (stupid us) on her "safe days."
Lately she's been complaining about having headaches, and that she can't sleep sometimes. Are these possible signs that she could be pregnant? Next week should be her expected period.

there is no "safe day" to have sex really..everytime..especially unprotected is a HIGH risk of pregnancy...she should go on birth control if condoms dont work for you guys...anyway...if its been 2 weeks since you've had sex she may test for pregnancy..she can also test up to 5 days before her missed period...I really don't think there would be any "signs" of pregnancy this early...so just go buy a test and have her do it so you dont spend the next week worrying

Her last period was in July 15th. We've had sex at least once a week.
As I recall, yesterday and the week before that, were unprotected sex. I was told that she expects her period by next week. I pulled out just before I came. But there's still that risk that I was too late.

Has she started ovulating?

From yesterday, to me, that area around her nipples, seemed a bit darker. Sensivity i'm not so sure.

Get a test and test. We can speculate as much as you'd like, but nothing we say reflects the truth. Get a test and figure out what's up.

Why are you having unprotected sex? Are you trying to conceive a child?

Ugh. We just get caught up in the moment. And we forget. Stupid us. ESPECIALLY me.

You get caught up in the moment every week, about once a week? That seems premeditated to me. Condoms do not cost very much and are easily transported in a purse or kept in a nightstand for those times.

Go buy some condoms and keep them around.

Headaches and trouble sleeping (as far as i am aware) are not common symptoms for pregnancy.

And as Worrywart01 said "there are no safe days"! Impossible. A woman can become pregnant on ANY day, while on her period, before, after and in between. By pre-cum or the real thing. It all depends on the woman. The safe days are the days you use any form of protection at all, and in some cases even then you can be at risk (ie. if condom breaks, pregnancy while on birth control).

Usually girls are super tired sleep troubles come later on. She probably can't sleep because she's worrying too much and has headaches from constantly thinking about it. And if she hasn't missed a period yet she wouldn't be having symptoms pregnancy related. If you guys were feeling old enough to have sex your old enough to buy condoms and a pregnancy test. And the nipples don't usually change in color till a couple months later. They do get sore and sensitive early on, but not darker as you think hers are.

It was just twice that we got caught up in everything. Every other time we've been using condoms or condaceptives.
Anyways, thanks for the advice. Next time we won't be so stupid.

Thank you for clearing up my misunderstanding about "safe days".
I know now that I must be careful all the time.

Oh okay. Thanks to everyone that have given me very important advice. We'll make sure that we don't slip up again, and we'll come prepared at all times. Hopefully she does have her period. That'll probably ease our minds a bit. Again, thanks.

Sex is way better when you don't have to worry about pregnancy. That kind of puts a damper on things.

Have her take a pregnancy test if she is late.

Good luck.
