Q: Can I Still Be Pregnant With a Period?

Hi!

This is my first time posting on this board and I have a question. I'm on bc pills and I had unprotected sex about 5 weeks ago. Well, about a week after, I started getting really bad cramps (which is weird because it was about a week and a half before my period and I usually don't get them that early.) also I just had this weird sort of feeling in my stomach that I can't explain. Then, I stared feeling nauseous and sick for a few days. I got my period on time and it was normal. But after it's over I still have this weird feeling in my lower abdomen. It feels like on and off cramps sort of. Also, I am sleeping a lot longer than I usually do and I am always tired. And my bbs look bigger and firmer. I was wondering if I could be pregnant? And how likely would that be since I am on bc and I had my period?

Thanks! Smile

Thanks for answering my question! I think I am going to go buy a test today at the store. The thing is, i'm a little nervous since I am only 18. I have another question: if I am really 5 weeks pg, how much should I be showing? I see a little difference in my stomach and also my jeans are tighter. Is that just in my head?

More than likely you wouldn't be showing at all at five weeks. It would be possible for your jeans to fit tighter.

More likely than not you are not pregnant. But since you're having pregnancy symptoms, it wouldn't hurt to take a test.
