    Expecting?
    I've never been expecting before, so I've never had these symptoms. Two(ish) weeks ago I bled a little during "ovulation" and I was active with my husband that day. (a condom was used only half way through) A couple days later I was getting the egg white on my toilet paper, which turned into a whiter more liquid substance. During this time I had pain in my lower stomach which still is going on making me feel queazy often and hard to sleep. Two nights ago I started constantly having to pee especially after relaxing for bed at LEAST every 30 minutes. It feels like something is pushing on my bladder. My breasts feel pretty normal, maybe a little more on the heavy side but I am approaching my menstrual date (24th) but my nipples are very touchy. I've talked to some and they say they're not really thinking this is a pregnancy thing and others think I need to get it checked out... if it's not pregnancy then I'd like to know asap and figure out what's going on with me! I am waiting till my cycle, but some pregnancies have cycles.

    It really is too soon to tell. These symptoms could be caused by hormonal changes due to your expected period. You'll need to wait until your expected period and see if it comes. If it does not, or is shorter than usual, you should wait until 7-10 days after your missed period and take a home pregnancy test. Be sure to do it first thing in the morning, and to follow the directions carefully. If you are still unsure about the result, see your doctor, who can test there. I hope you get the result you are looking for.

    Thank you. I got my period at a younger age, and all of this time I've never had anything like this happen. I've been married 7 months now and this is the first "pregnancy scare" that we've had. My stomach pain and having to use the bathroom too often are really concerning me especially because not only is it putting me in pain, it's sticking around also. I try to drink water often and eat healthy, and I haven't taken prenatals for a few months (the only pills I would ever take, NO other pills for anything) My diet hasn't changed and my stress is down. It's a little alarming, and I want to be better or have a bundle of joy!

    Nothing you can "check" now.

    Also, there really are no "signs" two week after sex. Signs come a couple months after a missed period. Normally the first "sign" is the missed period.

    If you do miss the period, you need to wait till you are two weeks late, and then test. Always use first urine of the morning.
