Signs that I'm pregnant???

The day before I started my period, I had unprotected sex. At first I thought things were normal. I started. That was a good sign. But I noticed that the first few hours into my period it was a lot darker in color, had a little bit of mucus, and i had horrible cramps, which I hardly ever get. I noticed as the day went on, my period lightened consiterably. I'm into day 3 of my "period" and its still light, not normal for me. My mother told me once she had her "period" but found out right after that she HAD been pregnant with me. I've also had diahhrea real bad since the day I started my "period". My breasts aren't tender yet (how far along do they start to get tender?), but I have noticed that the cramps are still there, slightly, but there. Also, throughout the day, I've felt just slightly nausiated.

Any advice, or am I just stressing and looing to far into things?

Hi Silverserenity,


Hmm, it sounds like it would be pretty unlikely to have gotten pregnant the day before your period started. Is there any chance that you had unprotected sex say a week or so prior to then? If so, then that might be more likely. I have heard of women who still get thier periods during pregnancy, so I guess that's always possible. BUt again, the likelyhood of having conceived the day before is really slim. Usually women ovulate about 14 days prior to starting thier periods, and for you to be be feeling symptoms, the timing just doesn't seem to mesh. But if you think you might be pregnant, then maybe wait a
