Ok so to start I have had irregular cycles the past 3-4 months I have been anywhere from 27-30 days. My last period was May 2nd and May 18-19th was when my partner and I had unprotected sex (he pulled out but some of his landed on my vagina and when I went to wipe it clean some got inside). According to my period calendar my fertile week was from May 13-19th and I would have ovulated on the 18th (dont know for sure but assuming). Anyway at 6DPO I noticed a small spec of pink blood when I wiped and no more that day. This morning at 9DPO I noticed more pink even some brown colored spotting as I wiped but not enough to fill a pad or panty liner. Yesterday I cried while watching one of my favorite movies and the night before I had the most vivid dream I had to wake up to remind myself it wasn't real. My nipples are extremely sore and I have uncontrollable gas and bloating. I figured it could be my period coming early but does it sound like early pregnancy symptoms?

THat period calender is worthless for that... not all women ovulate at the same point in their cycle.

Also he doesn't have to ejaculate at all to make you pregnant.

You have to wait until you are two weeks late for a period to take a HPT. First thing in the AM right after you wake up, the first time you pee that morning.

It is funny how the brain will jump to the worst or most serious case first before considering what could actually be going on. That sounds like PMS. Is this to say that you're not pregnant? No. You're not using birth control, Withdrawl is not birthcontrol and there's semen in the pre-ejaculate, and you had unprotected penetrative sex so there is a chance that you're pregnant. I won't speculate on the odds though.

So as smoothy said you'll have to wait until you've solidly missed your period by two weeks, worse case so it might be a few more days, and take a home pregnancy test. If you're not trying to get pregnant you might want to use this time to explore birth control options with your doctor.

Thank you for your answer. I assumed it was just PMS also, but last night I had another odd symptom. My breasts were leaking what appeared to be milk and I looked up somewhere that its colostrum and not actually milk. I am still spotting but its becoming less and less and I have the worst backache and congested sinus cavities. I'm still 4 days away from when my period is expected but I am so tempted to test..

So... colostrum will start to appear a few days before birth or right after. It is a EXTREME late pregnancy event. You won't see that this early. You can test, but you might get a false negative. The congested sinuses could be cause of all this, that is a sign of infection and that can muck up your timing and cause spotting.

A reliable answer require patience.

So why am I experiencing it now if it's a late pregnancy symptom?

CravenMorhead · May 29, 2014, 01:16 PM

There are a bunch of causes of it. There is a specific hormone that is linked to milk production, Prolactin, if you have that in your system at the end of your cycle than you could start to lactate because that is the hormonal cue when you give birth to start producing milk. There is something called galactorrhea that is an umbrella term for lactation not caused by child birth. This is just provided for your information and learning purposes only and isn't a diagnosis whatsoever. You might want to talk to your doctor about this to be honest. It could be nothing, or it could be something.
