Hi, me and my partner had intercourse the 5,6,7 and 8th of July which was the time I was ovulating. I'm not sure if its just me as Im hoping ill fall pregnant, but my breast aree very tender but this time seems to be different In my eyes as there more kind of full then just hard and they seem to just sit there. Normally if its just my monthly cycle coming they just feel hard that's all. This time though even my nipples are sore and in the night I get very uncomfortable laying on them.. My tummy feels to be more bloated than usual, I also have tugging pains in my right side and left where my bikini line is but more onto the right side is more noticeable. Is it possible I'm pregnant or just my mind over thinking things? My periods not due until the 23rd this month?
Thank you

Anytime there is penile insertion there is the possibility of pregnancy. Could you be pregnant? Sure you could. But even if you are, it is too soon for symptoms to manifest themselves. The first true symptom of pregnancy is missing your period. Any other symptoms before that are either imagination or wishful thinking.

You need to wait until about 8/7 to take a test, assuming you don't get your period on or about the 23rd.

Thank you for answering. Its kind of what I thought but I have been reading up on when its possible to find out your pregnant before doing a home test, a few people have said they knew days later. So just wanted to be sure. Thank you again.

I'm curious has to how these people knew.They may have decided they were and it turned out they were, but one can't know for sure, until a test is done and they are examined.

Days later they wouldn't even be pregnant, the egg would not even be implanted. So no, they didn't know that they were pregnant, they just assumed, or hoped, and it turned out that they were.

Wait until your period is at least 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine.

My thoughts exactly. Now and then we have people come here and say that they heard people knew or experienced symptoms days later and I always wondered this same thing.

They may have been like the OP here and thought they were and it turns out that they were... but then how many others come here thinking the same thing, days after having sex, and then it turns out that they are not.

I think I am going to get a cold this winter... doesn't mean I already have one brewing...
