So I usually don't do this but lately I haven't been feeling myself. My husband and I had unprotected sex the past couple days and about a week-week and a half ago, both times with internal ejaculation. The previous two days I have woke up to a slight sharp pain in my abdomen area different from typical period cramps and pains. However they did not last long. Long enough for me to acknowledge them (less than a minute). Last night I had issues with getting comfortable sitting on the couch and laying in bed. There was a slightly less sharp pain on my right side, the side I sleep on. It wasn't as painful as it was just uncomfortable. This morning I woke up to a strange feeling in the same area though I am not sure how to explain it. Almost like an uncomfortable tickle. I noticed when I went to the restroom this morning there was a slightly pink tint when I wiped, and nothing else as the day has gone on. For about the past week I have had headaches and my acne has gotten severely worse. I was moody but the past couple of days I have been happier than usual. I have been tired more than usual lately as well. I feel as if my rest has become less restful/replenishing. My abdomen is also sore. For say my husband lays his arm across it or my dog lays his head on it, it feels as if they are applying pressure to a bruised area. Though they both do these things on a daily basis and I have never had an issue with it before. Could I be pregnant or is it something else? I like to think I am in tune with my body, I just feel strange and off. I am also 19 and have never been pregnant before.

When is your next period due? It's possible what you are experiencing is due to pregnancy, although not from the most recent sex. It's possible it could be due to ovulation. It may simply be from the recent sex.

Since you are having regular, unprotected sex, pregnancy is likely to occur sooner or later. Taking a multivitamin, with at least 400 mcg of folic acid, would be wise during this time.


See what happens when your next period is due. No period after several days, try a pregnancy test.

I would have expected my period middle of this week at the latest beg. Of next. When would you recommend taking a test?

Since periods can sometimes be late, or calculations off a bit, maybe try a test at the end of next week if your period doesn't show by that time. Good luck!
