i had unprotected sex with my ex last week, and my breasts are feeling all super tender. i was just wondering how long it would be before i could tell whether or not i was pregnant.

Around the time that you would get your period would be about the time that you may start noticing symptoms of pregnancy.  It's also around that time that you could take a pregnancy test.\n\nA home pregnancy test only works 4 days before your period for about 68% of people.  I would just wait until your period unless you NEED to know sooner for some reason.  Your breasts may be tender b/c your period is next week.

1) 1-2 weeks, although you're not considered pregnant BECAUSE you skipped your period. It's a sign that you're pregnant, but there are other reasons you could skip a period.\n\n2) Take the pregnancy test 7-9 days after the missed period. There are no odds--you either are or you are not. The closer you take it to your period, the more chance you'll get a false negative.\n\n3) It's perfectly normal--stress affects the body in amazing ways.\n\n4) You have the pregnancy test. You can't really TELL--there are signs of pregnancy, but that's not a fool-proof guide. I though I was pregnant because of morning sickness, but it turned out that I had the flue.\n\nHere are are some signs of pregnancy and other explanations:\nhttp://www.americanpregnancy.org/gettingpregnant/earlypregnancysymptoms.html\n\n5) Learn how to destress. Take a bath. Learn to distance yourself from your problems. Find SOMETHING to get your mind off of the problems--mine is to design and decorate a house. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, if you like animals. It's another great way to unwind.

could be. i would wait a few days and see what happens.  if you don't get your period, you should take a test or see your doc.

well... i wouldn't rule it out completely cuz our uteri are strange and complex (and sometimes just downright carazzzy) things.  it is, however, unlikely.  there is actually a period of only two or three days when your uterus is primed for baby making, this happens a couple days before your period (the shedding of all those baby-making materials).  are you having sex regularly (cuz sometimes the actual act of having sex after a while could be such a shock to your lonely little uterus that it switches things up on you).  i had really, really, irregular periods from the time i started (11?) until the time i started having sex (almost 21).  me having sex straightened out my cycle and they have been pretty regular since.  of course, the safest bet is to take a pregnancy test and find out, but have a little relief in knowing that you are PROBABLY in the clear.  also, it goes without saying that if you do not want babies you need to be using not only birth control, but a condom as well (two types of contraception are always better than one being that none is 100% fool proof)

usually one to two days after your missed period. depending on what kind of pregnancy test you get. i think ept has one that can detect as early as the first day of you missed period. just read the boxes.

I miscarried back in November of 04.  I found out on a monday I was pregnant.  Then friday night I had a faint pink discharge.  Then saturday morning I started spotting really bad but I didn't have pain either.  I called my dr. that night because it wouldn't stop . He told me go to the ER, so I did, and the dr. there told me I had miscarried.  They did a blood test and my HCG levels were almost at zero.  They did an exam and said that my cervix was dilated as well.  I didn't have a D&C the dr said 85% of women miscarry like this, in the beginning, due to an abnormal chromosomes or whatever, but most women think it's a late period. I got pregnant in Jan of 05 and had a healthy baby boy after that.   If I were you, I would call a dr or go to the ER as soon as possible to get everything checked.  Use a neighbor's phone or pay phone if you have to.

The only way for u to know for sure dear is to take a home-pregnancy test. It may be way too early for that. If u want to be 100% sure however, go and have a blood test. Good luck sweety :)

SOmetimes if you worry or think about it for too long you may believe you are pregnant but are not. Your best assurance is to buy a pregnancy test or go to your doctor but three days is not long to believe you are pregnant, maybe those cramps are telling you that it is coming.

Pregnancy signs and symptoms occur either at the time of a missed period, or a week or two later. Symptoms include missed period, fatigue, tender and swollen breasts, implantation bleeding, nausea and or vomiting, food aversions, frequent urination, and increased sensitivity to odors. Not everyone experiences symptoms, and some people feel some but not all symptoms. Implantation bleeding occurs a bit earlier than expected, and it is scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light). If you feel you may be pregnant, your best bet is to wait at least two weeks after a missed period, and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing.

Well, stress can affect the cycle, but pregnancy is a definite possibility. Three weeks is a bit much to use stress as the answer. I would get a pregnancy test right away. They are almost 100% accurate and since shes already late it should give you the answer. If it comes back negative, she may want to see her gynocologist to make sure everything is okay.

if possile continue taking your prenatal pills to help you w/ energy(+ sleep), Ive heard some say that it took 9mo to come to term so it can take up to 9mo for you to feel completly like your old self.  Your body has changed so you may not want to stick to the same things that you did before, this is the time to be advenurous w/ your man. after having my daugher 6mo ago I no don't like kissing or haveng my breast touched as much as before.

If you wrote this on 11/29 meaning you were due to ovulate on 11/30, you did have sex around the time that you could get pregnant.  But, it seems if I am doing the math right that you are saying you had nipple pain basically the day you had sex or the day after and that is pretty much too soon for there to be the painful nipple symptom of pregnancy (it's not a symptom of conception).  It doesn't happen in a matter of hours or a day.  It could be that your nipples are irritated from foreplay, from a scratchy sweater, from drier weather, etc,.  I hope I am wrong and in a couple of weeks you have the answer you are hoping for.

First calm down. I understand why you are concerned. Losing a baby is very tragic. But just because it happened 10 years ago doesn't mean it is going to happen now. The symptoms you have described for yourself are normal. I didn't have sickness, cravings, sensitivity to smell with my pregnancy either. Count this as a blessing! Being tired and on/off breast tenderness is normal. Try reading "What to expect when expecting" "Girlfriends guide to pregnancy" etc... Stop obsessing about losing this baby and start enjoying him/her. I truly understand the concerns. Make an appt. with your doctor to help ease your mind. As far as having a miscarriage WITH OUT ANY symptoms I don't know about. That is a question for the professionals.
