Hi, I had unprotected sex roughly 8 days ago now, I finished my last period roughly 2 week ago, I have recently started with horrible cramping, is their a chance that I could be pregnant? I'm rather worried so any answers that are given would be a great help! Thank you :)

You had sex, so of course there is a chance for pregnancy. Any time there is penetrative sex, protected or not, you have a risk for pregnancy.

Unfortunately now you have to wait to see if your next period comes when it is due. If it doesn't wait a week and test using first morning urine.

My period is due around the 16th January, is cramping this early a sign of pregnancy?

It is really too early for signs of pregnancy to be showing it, very rare, but then not impossible either.

Normally the first sign will be the missed period.

So you will just have to wait, it can be a dozen things, pregnancy is just one of them.

Okay, with my 1st pregnancy I experienced something similar but I had spotting too :/

Spotting sometimes happen, and cramping with it, but again not in all women, there is no "one" sign that is the same for everyone. Some women have no signs at all that are often had.

That is why, it is always a guess till a pregnancy test is confirmed
