Coincidence Or Symptoms?
Posted: 01-15-07 22:16pm

Hello. Here's a little information with my problem, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out.


After I had sex ( it was the day before new years) I hadn't gotten my period the next month. (but it's weird, because my period is usually regular, and I was supposed to get it on jan 28, but I missed that and I didn't even have sex around that time.) me and my boyfriend, unfortunately, were using the "pull-out" method and now I know that doesn't always work. [wish I realized this earlier]

my symptoms include:

1. Having to eat every time of the day. I'm normally the type to skip meals, but sometimes I can't even leave the house without eating a whole meal. So i've been gaining just a couple lbs.

2. I'm starting to get a weird "pulling" feeling in my lower abdomen. Like that pulling feeling you get when you need to urinate, but I don't even have to. (this may be tmi, but a few minutes ago I really thought I needed to uriniate and I proceeded to use the restroom, but it ended up being a very small amount of urine)

3. I woke up this morning with a sore throat. My nose is pretty stuffy too. I don't know if this is a symptom or it might just be the cold weather here in texas right now, not to mention a couple people living in the house with me have caught colds as well.

4. I realized a little metallic feeling in my mouth. But I don't know if this could be my imagination, because I only realized it after reading up on it.

5. My breasts feel slightly fuller. They aren't swelling at all, or getting darker.

It's been about 6 weeks and if I was in fact, pregnant, would I be getting more symptoms? Please reply. Thanks.

The easiest thing for you to do would be to take a home pregnancy test. If your hormones are at a level that would affect your body (hence, give you symptoms and make you miss your period) they will be at an appropriate level for a urine test to detect.

That's all we can tell you. We can't pick apart your symptoms and say "ooh, could be" or "nah, not possible". We're not doctors, and this is the internet. Just take a test, hon, and let us know how things go. Good luck.

Your symptoms fit the book of pregnancy. But by reading up on symptoms could also paranoy you to make you over exaderate. The only 100% way of knowing if you are or not is to take the test. Being this many days late now would be a great time to get the test and take it.

I don't really see any early pregnancy symptoms in there except that she missed her period.

If you had sex on dec 30/31 and your period was due on dec 28, it seems highly unlikely that would have been when you'd get pregnant.
