Scared I am pregnant!

Question - (29 January 2008) 4 Answers - (Newest, 30 January 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

ok so i would appreciate any help. I had my period on the 12th of January (Saturday) and it lasted until the 17th (thursday) I had sex that next day, Friday, and my fiance and I started out without a condom, but after like 10 seconds he put one on. I am so scared I am pregnant because that sunday I felt nauseous and now about 5 days after that, and currently I have had cramping and breast pain and nauseous. I usually ovulate 15 days after the start of my period, but I am so worried bc my period is not due for like 10 more days, but this cramping will not go away. I also know it is not an STD bc we have only been with eachother. Am I crazy to think i had symptoms that soon???

I highly doubt that you are pregnant for the same reason as hlskitten.

But you can buy pregnancy tests from the chemists that work up to 4 days before your period is due so at least you will be saved from a few days of worry.

Your not crazy for thinking you have symtoms that soon - it's probably a psychological reaction. I had 'morning sickness' for two weeks after I missed a period and was terrified that I was pregnant again. When I finally plucked up the courage to take a test it was negative and I came on the following week. The Dr thinks I missed the period due to the stress of thinking I was pregnant (the condom had split with my husband)and then my body just followed my mind thnking I was preganant (wierd huh?).

So try to relax if at all possible and talk to the chemist about the tests that show up earliest.

DoubleM agony auntI agreed with "hlskitten" below. Very unlikely, at least don't fret over it.

I kind of disagree that the"rhythm method" is entirely unreliable, as I've used that with many fertile girlfriends and a wife without mishap over almost 45 years.

That, of course, is timing approximately when ovulation occurs and avoiding insemination several days either before or after. Nothing, including that, is foolproof, but even full insemination within a few days before or after a normal period is fairly unlikely to cause conception.

hlskitten agony auntHi

Stop panicking. Its extreeeeeeeeeemely unlikely you are pregnant. Working on the theory that....you are most fertile between days 10 and 18 of your cycle..ie, 10 days after your last period. You wouldnt ovulate straight after your period. A period is basically ovulation unused. Your womb lining thats thickened, shedding when its not accepted a pregnancy (when you ovulated) and coming out in a period (on day 25-28) so basically, you wouldnt of yet ovulated (which is when you are fertile) the day after your period stopped. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule. And you cant use that as a contraceptive, but the fact he didnt (from what you said) ejaculate inside you, coupled with the fact the timing was completely wrong, would be fairly safe to say you SHOULDNT be pregnant.

Only time will tell, and you will no doubt worry, but if you look into timings and probablilities, all i'm saying is...it could put your mind at rest.

All the best.
