Pregnancy Or Stress?

Take a test if she misses her period. That's the only way to know. Blood in her urine is not a sign of pregnancy. And although tiredness is a symptom, it wouldn't happen so soon. Symptoms usually don't occur until you miss your period. And when they say that frequent urination in a symptom, they mean like really frequent. I am 36 weeks pregnant and I pee like every 15-30 minutes or so. Peeing once in the night is not frequent. Once again, the day after intercourse is not soon eneough to be feeling any symptoms. The way she is feeling is not because she is pregnant. Here is a little bit of science for you: in order to get pregnant, sperm has to enter her vagina and swim all the way up into her tubes, this is where the sperm meet the egg (a woman ovulates about 14 days into her cycle in a 28 day cycle) once the egg and sperm meet, it takes about 7 days (but as many as 10 or so) to implant into the lining of her uterus. She is not "pregnant" until this happens, as her body does not release the hcg horomone (the horomone that pregnancy tests pick) until the fertilized egg imbeds itself into the uterine wall. This is why the day after intercourse is too soon for her to be feeling symptoms, as the horomone is what causes the symptoms. I highly doubt she is pregnant, especially since you used protection. Kudos on that

Thank you, i'm just really scared that's all (hey, not that there's anything wrong with having kids, I want them, just right now is a little bit too soon).
Once again thank you.

No problem.

Sorry bout that, I posted as a guest instead of user, by the way, best of luck with your child.

Babies are a blessing but, use protection until you're ready for the responsibility. How old are you ?

I just turned 18 (dont listen to the year in my username, has nothing to do with my age lol)...And I know some might think 18 is young to have intercourse, but it was our first time and we've been friends for forever, "seeing" each other for the past 2 years, and dating for over a year, we were ready (here's where I would put an emoticon of a heart if there was one) :d

just a little question, when people or websites or what ever discuss pregancy symptoms, they always use the term after conception, does this mean right after intercourse or ...?

When exactly does conception occur?
By lori ramsey

the question is often asked exactly when conception occurs, especially if intercourse and ovulation are on separate days. There are many things that come into play here leading up to conception. I will explain each to give you a clearer picture of this wonderful process. First, the body begins to prepare for ovulation on the first day of the menstrual cycle. This is known as day one of your cycle. It is during this time that the ovaries start preparing a few follicles to be the potential egg. After your bleeding period is over, your body starts producing estrogen, and the ovaries are being primed for ovulation. It is during this time that the cervical fluid becomes more “fertile”. If the cervical fluid becomes fertile up to five days prior to ovulation and you have sexual intercourse, the sperm can live inside your fallopian tube during this time. For example, you can have sexual intercourse on monday and not ovulate until friday but still conceive. The chances of conceiving a girl are greater this way because female sperm tend to live longer than male sperm. Given the fact that sperm can live up to five days inside a woman’s body, the egg only lives 12 to 24 hours. Rarely, a second egg will pop out 24 hours after the first. So tentatively there is about a week long window for conception to occur. But things have to be in tip-top shape for it to happen. In order for sperm to live longer than about 48 hours, there has to be good fertile-quality cervical fluid present. In order for the egg to be fertilized, there needs to be sperm present, or intercourse needs to be done within the first 12 hours of ovulation. With these circumstances in mind, it’s important to know when ovulation does occur through fertility charting. I believe that conception happens the minute the sperm and egg combine. This happens within 24 hours after ovulation occurs. The body will not know it’s pregnant until the fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, some 5 to 12 days after ovulation. Before implantation, there is nothing going on inside the body to detect pregnancy. When the fertilized egg implants, it starts sending signals to the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone. It’s during this that minute levels of hcg – the pregnancy hormone - are released. During a healthy pregnancy, the hcg levels will double every other day. The earliest a pregnancy test would show a positive would be possibly on day 7 post ovulation, but it’s rare to see a positive pregnancy test that early. Even with the most sensitive tests, you will more stand a better chance of seeing a positive at around 10 days post ovulation.

Megums is exactly right, I just wanted to add one thing, if she is saying it burns or whatever when she goes pee she may have a uti (but if it only happened that once then probably not), as far as I know burning during urination is not a symptom of pregnancy

That's a good point idony. I never thought to mention it
