Can I Be Pregnant
Posted: 10-03-07 10:50am

hi,
my boyfriend and i have been having unprotected sex for about a week now.. before he cums he pulls out, but i feel very sick, and i am sooo tired i have never been this tired before. last night my breast felt kind of tender but im not sure if it could be because i will start my period soon or if im feeling sick becuase my iron is low. i should get my period next week but i cant wait that long. is it to early to take a hpt???

One week is not enough time to begin to have any pregnancy symptoms. Yes, it is too early to take a pregnancy test.

PMS symptoms often mock early pregnancy symptoms. Going by symptoms alone is not a good way to determine pregnancy.

You will have to wait until you miss your period to test for pregnancy.

If you don't want to get pregnant (and I'm assuming you don't because there is the pull out method going on), get some kind of birth control. They have free and low cost birth control at planned parenthood. The pull out method IS NOT birth control and it WILL NOT prevent pregnancy in the long run.

Good luck.

It's possible that you're gaining weight from all of the icecream your eating and milk you're drinking. You wouldn't be gaining weight from pregnancy yet, so that's not an indication of pregnancy. Also, you got your period, so it's doubtful, yet not impossible, that you are pregnant. I guess wait to see if you miss your next period.

Ok ladies I have a question for you.Ok my period was on Sept.20 and it was on my CD30,would I count between my periods 29 days or 30 days. Because my period would come on CD30.So if it's not here would I be considered late? Also I've been waking up in the morning still feeling very tried after a good nights sleep and I've been eating ALOT and going to the restroom ALOT also.

exactly! no pressure would be caused so early in stages of pregnancy because changes in your uterus and the baby growing bigger cause more pressure to be applied to your bladder makeing you want to pee more because that early guess what? the baby is basically nothing!

mmmhhmmm
the added pressure of your growing baby causes your bladder to become irritated. Your bladder is actually pulled up out of your pelvis into your abdomen. This compression of your bladder will often cause you to feel as if you need to urinate almost all of the time.

One thing you should avoid is reducing your intake of fluid to avoid having to use the bathroom as often. You should be drinking about 6 to 8 glasses of fluids every day in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy. If you drink less than that on a regular basis, you can become dehydrated and even inadvertantly cause contractions.

If you have noticed that you have leakage from your bladder when you laugh, cough or sneeze, this is an excellent time to begin doing Kegel Exercises to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor. This is an invisible exercise that you should do often several times per day. Maintaining this exercise for the rest of your life will help to prevent future problems with bladder control.

If you are experiencing frequent urination and also stinging or burning after you finish emptying your bladder, see your care provider. This may be a sign that you have a UTI (urinary tract infection) which is very common during pregnancy. One reason UTI's occur so often is that with the changes in your pelvis and ureters, a larger amount of urine stays put longer and the flow of urine is also slowed. This makes the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. It is typically necessary to begin a course of antibiotics if you develop a UTI during pregnancy.



hormones cause changes in your body during pregnancy such as breast growth,weight gain,abdominal and back pains,and "morning sickness"

oh and heres some MORE for ya!

Typically anywhere from six to eight weeks into a pregnancy women start noticing the need to urinate more frequently. This happens in part because the volume of blood in the body increases dramatically, putting your kidneys through extra effort and causing you to void your bladder more frequently. As your uterus continues to grow and expand, this places more pressure on the bladder which can make you feel the need to pee even if your bladder is not full.

While some women experience less urgency during their second trimester, others continue to feel the urge to urinate more frequently throughout their pregnancy. This can be uncomfortable at best but a necessary part of pregnancy.
