Q: 17-f

i have been having problems for the past two weeks which have led me to believe this is all it can be.
But i cant take a test yet and want to know if theres a possibility it could be something else.
I had sex about 3 1/2 to 4 weeks ago and the problems happened about a week later and thats what makes me believe i cant be pregnant i don't know how early symptoms can start.

-Symptoms-

-i had my period the day after having the sex and normally it only lasts 3 days but this time it lasted 6-7 days.

-Cramping (feels like im on my period but im not bleeding) (started 1 week ago)

-feeling Nauseous all day and have stomach pains if im hungry and after I've eaten ((feel like throwing up)) started about a week after i had sex.

-Feel sick when i get around some foods like pizza lasagna and spaghetti. ((work with pizza and havent been able to stay at work without leaving sick yet.))

-Have breast pains ((but I've always had occasional breast pain so i don't know if this matters))

-Acid reflux flare-ups (have acid reflux but it hasn't seemed to go away for the past two weeks.)

If you could tell me if any of this is possible to happen or start happening within a week of pregnancy let me know!!!
&& if theres anything else it could be also clue me in on that thanks :)

::someone has told me its a UTI but it cant be i have only one of the symptoms which is nausea.

sorry its so long but i felt it was necessary to describe what and when things were happening.

Thanks in advance :)

This question sounds so familiar I thought one of my family members wrote it as a stunt...

You don't sound like you have typical pregnancy symptoms, especially if the only chance of pregnancy was when you had sex a week ago. You shouldn't have gotten your period the day after sex, if the egg was to implant in your uterus the blood would need to be there for cushioning.

I would see a doctor but I wouldn't panic. Although these aren't necessarily usual pregnancy symptoms. Did you have unprotected sex? Then I would be able to evaluate the risks better.

If you want to wait till you can take a pregnancy test then go ahead, but if you continue to worry I'd take a short visit to the doctor to clear my head. It'll just let you know exactly what's going on. I've been through the same and trust me it's not worth the worry.

Having fun with friends, playing games like we used to, having long meaningful conversations, building relationships, being able to feel free, being myself... Listening to music when I travel, enjoying nature.. hope to do something I love in the future.. mainly study psychology, maybe journalism, I would really love to do voluntary work in different countries. I really love travelling and..well, I write... Dont know what else to say (=.. ermm hope you're doing swell
