You're not pregnant if you had sex just a few days ago. Symptoms start around 8 weeks of pregnancy. Your symptoms sound a lot like your period is coming. Don't get so paranoid you can make yourself sick (literally). Lol

Sorry, but this simply not true. Pregnancy symptoms can and often do start before 8 weeks. One symptom is a missed period - and that doesn't take 8 weeks. Others who post here regular have "known" at less than a week.

While it is possible, normally your first sign will be a missed period.
But having sex can make you pregnant.

When is your period due ? You can do nothing till you wait on it. If you miss your period, wait till you are 2 week late and then pregnancy test

My post got chopped off - "You're not pregnant if you had sex just a few days ago" is also not correct. Pregnancy does not occur a "few days" following intercourse.

And FrChuck is correct - wait until your period is late, purchase a HPT, use it according to the directions (first morning urine).

In the meantime, yes, you are worrying yourself "sick."

Okay thank you

You had sex 5 days ago. At this stage you wouldn't even be officially pregnant yet. Do you know how pregnancy works, how long it takes for the sperm to reach the egg, and then for the egg to implant? It takes a lot longer than 5 days. In other words, any symptoms you're feeling now are not pregnancy related.

Wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait until your next period is due and you miss that one, test again or get a blood test.

Maybe J9 can come along and explain the time frame. I'm reading (and it was my understanding):

"According to WebMD, the fastest sperm can get to a fallopian tube is about 30 minutes, meaning that the quickest conception could occur following sex is in the half-hour range . This means that, following sex, the egg could be fertilized before you've gotten up to get a drink of water.

According to Harms, conception can occur as many as five days after sex or possibly longer, as strong, healthy sperm can survive for about that many days (and perhaps even longer) in the supportive environment of the fallopian tubes as they wait for an egg to be released, if one isn't already present. Here's how it works: Fertilization happens in one of the fallopian tubes, which carries an egg from an ovary to the uterus. It can take up to seven days after intercourse for sperm and egg to join and become a fertilized egg. Usually, it's because the sperm gets into the fallopian tube before the egg is released.

Here is more from Answers.com contributors:
•I would say at least a couple of hours, but it could take up to three days. Depending you your body and where the egg is in the cycle.
•The sperm that will be able to fertilize the egg will leave the cervix, at the most, 30 minutes. It does not take 3 days for the sperm to get to the fallopian tubes to ovulation. It can take minutes for at least some of the sperm to reach the fallopian tubes where they are stored waiting for the egg to pop out if it hasn't already popped out.
•As a general rule, less than three days.
•Well from what the Doctor told me when I got pregnant, it can take anywhere from the moment it happened to 8 days after the moment. Sorry if that doesn't help any just what I was told.
•I don't know the answer, but I will tell you what I do know. Sperm travels about 1/8 inch per minute. Sounds pretty slow until you realize Sperm is about 1/600 inch long. If you scale that up to "human" size that's about 4-5 miles / hour -- slow jogging speed. The penetration of the penis and location of the egg in the fallopian tubes is only two factors that will affect time. Not all sperm swim in the correct direction. Some "hang back" and may not move into the fallopian tubes for 2 or 3 days. This is why you can have intercourse before ovulation and still get pregnant by sperm from a few days ago.
•Sperm can last 3 to 5 days inside a woman. Every woman ovulates differently. People will tell you the average woman ovulate 14 days from the day you start your period
•It takes about two hours to make the entire journey to the egg; however, some sperm are Olympic swimmers and can reach the egg in a half an hour. If no egg is available to fertilize, the sperm swim around patiently waiting to bump into one. Because there is no chemical or physical attraction of the sperm for the egg, the sperm literally must bump into the egg.
•Straight from the professionals it is instantenious, as soon as the sperm gets inside it happens as quick and clapping your hands.
Yes, there is a chemical attraction to the egg, the egg has a protein sperm swim towards.
•Within three hours after intercourse. And they die off after three days..unless of course your taking birth control or the morning after pill."

Here's a video created by Planned Parenthood. J actually posted it a long time ago, and now, whenever there's a question about how pregnancy happens, I post it. It's a great video, and it really does explain, in a fun way, how pregnancy happens. :)

[busymomma2013]

If you are having unprotected sex I would say that you are probably pregnant.

Take a HPT 2 weeks after your missed period using your first morning urine.

Are you trying to have a baby?

[hisqueen]

Yes I am... And Okayyy
