Hi! My boyfriend and I have been together for some time now, and have recently been having unprotected sex. Since my last period, I have had many symptoms (according to several websites). I have had four nosebleeds, out of the blue. I have always had problems with acne, but there is some showing up in the most unusual places that are out of the ordinary. My lower back has been very achey. I usually have no trouble sleeping, but it seems I can't fall asleep, lately, until the very early hours of the morning. Also after intercourse with my boyfriend about a week ago, I bled what seemed to be a mixture of vaginal fluid and a brownish blood. Could this have been implantation bleeding, or simply something caused by intercourse?? Also, more dominately, my nipples have been extremely sore these past couple of days, but my breasts themselves do not seem to be sore. :confused: I'm very confused! Could you please give me your opinion on whether I may be pregnant?:o Thank you so much!

I don’t know the signs for pregnancy.

However, I do wish to offer some practical advice. Go to the drug store and get a home pregnancy test (or go to your Doctor for a pregnancy test).

That seems like a much more conclusive way to determine if you are pregnant instead of trying to guess based on symptoms.

And since you and your boyfriend are having unprotected sex, I am assuming you are in fact trying to get pregnant?

You should consider taking a pregnancy test to see if your pregnant. Pregnancy symptoms can cause breast tenderness, usually starting around 14-21 days post conception, and sometimes a sensation of pelvic heaviness and feeling like you have to urinate more often. If you are concerned about the symptoms you are experiencing, or have more questions about pregnancy, it is recommended that you speak to your doctor.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.
First and foremost, when in doubt -as advised by my 'forum family members' - Always see your doctor. Nosebleeds are not usually a common symptom and you should see the doctor to check your clotting factor (or are you taking too many Aspirins lately?), and have other tests as well to include toxoplasmosis test, especially if there are pets in your home or neighborhood.
Second, Take a EPT or HPT, even though they might be negative does not mean your not.

Check out the following sites, they will help you through this a little more to reassure if you are.
