i'm scared that i might be pregnant. i got pregnant around this time last year, but i miscarried. i don't remember exactly how it felt to be pregnant, but i do remember having cramps and thinking my period was coming any day. i didn't even notice that i completely skipped it. i was gaining weight from no where and wanting certain foods at certain times. i could eat 5 bowls of cereal a day just for the milk.
well, now i'm having cramps again, and i just got off my period. but me and my boyfriend had sex while i was on my period. he sorta, yeah.. didn't pull out. i'm moody at times. i cried last night over not being able to get comfortable in my boyfriends bed. he thought i was crazy. my stomache feels as though it's stretching constantly. my lower back is in pain alot. i'm going to bed at 3 in the morning and not getting up until 3 in the afternoon, sometimes 5. my head hurts almost every day. and i have no desire to do anything but lay around. could i be pregnant only a week or so after having sex (before that we hadn't had sex in about 2 months due to being broken up) and would i show symptoms like this so soon.. pls help!

It's unlikely you would be getting symptoms so soon. Yes, you can get pregnant on your period, though the risk is lower.

However, all you can do for now is wait 2-3 weeks and then buy a test. You can do it then, or wait for your next period.

Well how long has it been since the unprotected sex? I thought you meant you'd just finished the period you had sex on and were now waiting for another one.

You can definitely test now, it'll be accurate.

If you've been getting normal heavy periods you should be fine, but if you have bothersome symptoms then test.

To be honest, it doesn't sound that likely that you are pregnant, but you never know. So, I would buy a test and see.

you sound like your pregnant to me! i had all of the same symptoms from the very start except the backaches... those came much later. i did sleep 12-18 hours a day when i could tho, never could get enough sleep when i was in my 1st trimester. im actually still pregnant and in my 3rd trimester now Smile I would deff. go to a Dr. or grab a prego test and findout if i were you. My period was and always was 2 weeks late(so like every 6th week id start) so i diddnt discover i was prego until i was at 2 months along! it wasnt unusual for me to go a month late if i was stressed badly so thats why i diddnt find out until my 2nd month. Well let me know what happens Smile

hormones and other things cause your body to chage during pregnancy

in the first few weeks of pregnancy the baby/fetus is merely a ball of reproducting cells
so alot of girls think that when they get "sick" or eat different things or are more tired after 2 weeks of haveing sex they are automatically pregnant
when in reality you wouldnt really be able to feel this stuff so early! it happens a little later on! thats why you cant get a correct reading on an Hpt test until atleast 4 weeks (or a missed period) after you have sex
because your body doesnt make enough hormones for the test to come out correct! see?
