Am I pregnant?!

Thu, 07-06-2006 - 7:07pm

I came off the pill (went out of town and forgot them) when i got back I talked with my doctor and she said to just wait until the start of my next period. My last period was June 17th, and I am due for a period July 15 or so. Here is the issue. My boyfriend and I got a little carried away on the night of July 2nd and had unprotected sex. My breasts were really sore on the 2nd and the 3rd but i didn't think anything of it until I read that those days would have been my ovulating days and breast tenderness happens when you ovulate. So now I am pretty much scared because the doctor told me "well if you were trying to have a baby, the time you guys did would have been the most opportune time to get pregnant." I know that i have to wait until my predicted period to really get an accurate test...and that we were irresponsible - but i need some outside opinions.... Could i have a high chance of being pregnant?

PS>>>
I definatley was ovulating somewhere between the 1-3 according to all the different ovulation calcs I have found

PPS>>>>
I was also completley OFF the pill before my last period in june -- so i was DEFINATLEY not on the pill when we had sex

Even if you have sex at the perfect time, an average couple has a 25% chance of becoming pregnant. It's definitely in the realm of possiblity since you got the right time, but it's NOT a sure thing! I hope you get the outcome you are hoping for!

Also, just because an ovulation calculator says that you should ovulate from the 1st-3rd, that does not mean that you will. It could be earlier or later. Some women do not ovulate until cycle day 30 or even later. So I would just say wait about 2-3 weeks from you unprotected sex and take a test if AF hs not arrived.

You definitely could be pregnant, but it's not for sure. Have you had any other symptoms? cramping, fatigue, nausea, breast tenderness, darkening of the areolas, etc... I just found out yesterday that I was pregnant via an EPT home pregnancy test. I got a blood test done today to confirm, but I won't find out until tomorrow pm. My husband and I were going to start trying this month, so we're pretty excited about it. We had unprotected sex on day 18 of my cycle. I have a 28-day cycle, so I should have ovulated around day 14, so I thought it'd be safe...and I was on top (gravity), etc... However, my period is 6 days late today, and yesterday and today were the first days I felt symptoms (fatigue and cramps). I haven't felt anything else. Several home pregnancy tests can detect hcg (pregnancy) 4 days before your period is due. If you really want to know, go buy one and see. Good luck!

I have been feeling...just not myself. I got dizzy yesterday and the day before,burping like CRAZY, light cramping, and fatigued. I just took a test and it showed neg. I am sure it is WAY to early as AF is due this weekend, but i just thought what the heck. I might as well. I guess I just have to keep playing the waiting game!

I too have ovulated the same days. I have to wait till Sunday to find out (waiting till AF is due) I took 2 tests because my boobs HURT so bad! And thats normal for me when Im pregnant. LoL Also I have been light headed once in a while and of course I cant tell if Im overheated because its summertime and its VERY humid here in NC. But...even in airconditioning I just feel like i have a fever all the time. Ive been nauseous after I eat but nothing huge because I get that way in the heat.

if youd like you can contact me at my email address jzbebegyrl@yahoo.com and feel free to add me if you have messenger. It would be nice to have a "buddy" if i we are. :)

Talk to you soon,

Do you want to be pregnant? My doctor's office confirmed today that I'm pregnant - I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow 7/12/06 and am due 3/14-06. Craziness. I'm really excited, but we're waiting to surprise our family and friends, so I can't tell anyone. It's torture! Let me know what you find out.

After trying for a very long time to get pg and after doing a lot of research, It's unlikely that you are pg from missing some pills or just barely getting off them. This also depends on your age. The younger you are the quicker you can get pg. All these trying to conceive books I have read all say, that that age old tale of missing a pill and becoming pg is highly unlikely and that as a teenager we spent all these years trying to prevent pregnancy and you only have a 25% chance per cycle to become pg anyway and then there are more factors still involved with that. I hope you are not, if you don't want to be. I am praying I am.
