sex around ovulation time Posted: 04-27-08 23:12pm
hi. im new to this forum. this may be
long, but here goes...
my boyfriend and i had sex a couple times
right about the time of ovulation without
using any contraceptives. (about 10 days
ago) since then, ive noticed my boobs are
especially sore and im discharging waaaay
more than ususal. im not unfamiliar with
these symptoms right before my period, but
ive been experiencing them much sooner
than normal and they're must stronger.
i've also felt more tired even though i
get enough sleep in the night. i dont know
if my mind is playing tricks on me or if i
really could be pregnant. i've also
noticed the veins in my boobs are much
more apparent. im planning on taking a
test in the next 2 weeks just to make sure
ive waited long enough for correct
results.
but hearing peoples opinions would be
helpful, so please feel give your input!
thanks

You had unprotected sex. Of course you may
be pregnant. Since I don't know when your
last period was, I can't tell you whether
or not these symptoms are in your head.
The earliest most people start to get any
symptoms is around the same time you miss
a period. That's when your body starts to
physically notice so anything before then
is unrelated or in your imagination. If
you're already late for a period, then you
might as well test now. If you're not,
wait until then, and of course, that means
your symptoms are also unrelated.
You really need to protect yourself. You
just set yourself up to become pregnant,
so unless that's what you're going for,
you need to get on birthcontrol
immediately.

Agree with Reptar.
Go ahead and test. They say you will get
an accurate result 2 weeks after the
unprotected sex.
Get on birth control and make sure your
partner is using condoms! Just because
your boyfriend says he's faithful, it's
not always the case. Unfortunately, a lot
of teens contract STDs this way-they think
their partners are being faithful when
they are not.

i think you are. thats similar to what
happen to me. i would go get a blood test
done its more accurate. i dont trust home
tests, because i took five and they were
negative and then i went for a blood test
and it was positive.

well my last period was april 5. im 24 and
my boyfriend and i have been together for
the past 6 years, and are planning on
getting married in the next 2 years. i've
been on birth control before and i had
just started a new pack. we had sex during
the first week of me starting my new thing
of bc (ortho tri cylcen) but i was also
sick & taking antibiotics, which i
didnt know cancel out the effects of bc if
they're taken together. honest mistake.
if i am pregnant, im not worried about it.
i will happily accept it...thats not the
issue. i just wanted feedback on these
symptoms without relationship advice.

you had unprotected sex, yes you could
be!
is your period late? if it is, there is no
need in waiting extra for accurate
results. It will be accurate now if you
are late.
Get a test and see.
OR go to your doctor, talk to him about
your symptoms and see if these are just
from switching bc, taking antibiotics or
if your pregnant. He or she could do a
blood test for you whichi can tell you if
you are pregnant, and is 100% accurate.

new thing today.... still discharging, but
now it is slightly red. unless my period
has come very early and very light. could
this be considered spotting? has anyone
else had this happen before?

ok when is your period due?
is it late? now your saying it could be
early because of some reddness...
implantation bleeding occurs about a week
after conception on average between 6-12
days past ovulation.
it could be implantation bleeding, so you
should test again im pretty sure it would
be accurate.
on pregnancy test boxes it says you can
test 4 days before your expected period

if my period comes after the 28 day cycle,
then it should be arriving on the 3rd of
may at the earliest. so that's about 6
days from now. today would be in between
8-12 days after conception would have
been. i read about the implantation
bleeding, which describes what happend
today. its not heavy at ALL like a normal
period is for me, and my cylce is usually
longer than a 28 day cycle.
i took a test this afternoon. it wasnt my
morning urination, but i couldn't wait and
it said negative, which im not surprised
by. i think i'll wait a week and see what
this bleeding does, and who knows...maybe
it will turn into a period.

ok so...your not late.
your stressing. and that could be what is
giving you this spotting.
i would think, it is mostly from you
switching birth control.
when taking birth control some symptoms
are similar to pregnancy symptoms, and you
just got on a new one so that could be
what its from.

She didn't switch birth control, she said
she started a new pack.
What was the length of time between taking
the packs?

okay....i have taken this birth control
before. months ago. and it was fine. even
when i started it for the first time i
never had any symptoms like this. i havnt
been on any kind of bc for at least 3
months until i started it this month. i
ended up taking the first pill about 4
days before ovulation time bc i messed up
on the actual "sunday start" date. so
essentially i was unprotected.
bleeding is still not heavy at all. its a
very light bright red, not like a dark red
how it usually is when i start and its
very watery, not thick or goopy. it is
also accompanied by very dull lower back
pain, but heavy abdominal cramps. usually
its the opposite for me when im on my
period. most of the time its really strong
back pains and hardly ever any abd.
cramps.

So you were not using birth control for 3
months.
Then started this month April.
It sounds like the birth control your
taking. It can mess up your system when
starting it. And you were off it for a
while.
Try taking a pregnancy test..

no. its not the birth control. im familiar
with this birth control & have stopped
taking it before and never had any
bleeding or whatever.
what's going on right now is it feels like
a very mild period. and very light
bleeding. i used a tampon bc i dont have
pany liners in the house and after using
it over night, this morning it was a mix
of bright red and brown. same for all day
today. used one for most of the day. red
and brown.
sure maybe it could be a period, but it
just feels DIFFERENT. i never bleed this
little and my periods are never early.

you could just be having a light period
then.
brown blood is discharge of dried blood.

Let me correct this:
Brown blood is OLD blood. It is common
while on birth control.
