pregnancy symptoms


Question Posted Tuesday April 21 2009, 12:12 am

i think i might be pregnant. i dont remember the exact date when i had sex, but it was earlier this month. but i think im already experiencing some symptoms. is it too early to be having symtoms? because my breasts are very tender at times, and they are growing. i havent been having lower back pains, but sometimes i am getting nauseous. and the most recent one is that today around 7 PM, (its now 11:09 PM) i started cramping really badly, like i was on my period. i put a pad on, thinking i may need it. but when i went to the bathroom a few hours later, there wasnt ANY blood. at all. but i was cramping REALLY badly, im still cramping a little, because i took some asprin and its wearing off.

(back to my question)

when is the earliest i could start getting symptoms, if i am pregnant. and what would the earliest symptoms be? and when would be a good time to go take a test? thanks.

Additional info, added Tuesday April 21 2009, 11:56 am:
also, i dont chart my periods, so i wont know when my "missed period" will be, and im 16/f. if that helps any.

**EDIT**
I'm sorry, ignore this question. I started my period in the middle of the night, and i know its my period because it is heavy and completely intolerable. :)

but thank you for anyone who wished to answer or already did.

Can you be pregnant and still have a period?
To start with, always remember that pregnancy and periods can never go along simultaneously. If you are indeed pregnant, technically, you cannot get your periods. Missing your period is actually the first sign of pregnancy. Bleeding in early pregnancy is a common occurrence, but this does not signal a true menstrual cycle. You must realize that the hormones that are active during pregnancy totally prevent ovulation. As we know, ovulation is the time in your cycle when the egg is released into the uterus and women experience menstrual bleeding. Since the egg in pregnant women is already fertilized, ovulation does not occur and hence no bleeding.

Early Pregnancy Bleeding
However, it is not uncommon to find that many women do report getting what seem like regular periods during early pregnancy. The bleeding that pregnant women complain about though is not truly a menstrual period. It can be called as early pregnancy bleeding. The perception of having a menstrual period (or more than one) in early pregnancy can confuse the due date and delay some pregnant women from seeking appropriate and timely medical care. In instances where a couple is unaware that they are expecting, it can be particularly emotionally challenging to find out about the pregnancy at the same time they are told that the bleeding might signal a problem.

It can be hard to calculate your date of delivery when you aren’t sure which period was the true last menses. A number of timing issues can help provide a ballpark estimate of when conception took place. Pay attention to these dates for help - when did you have unprotected intercourse, when did the pregnancy test turned positive (especially if there were some negative results before the positive one), and when you first noticed symptoms of pregnancy (such as breast tenderness or nausea). An ultrasound is the best technique to determine the baby’s due date if you are not sure about one or more of these dates.

Identifying the due date is quite important in prenatal care, since some tests, like the triple check, are standardized by the exact number of weeks of gestation. In addition, most couples as well as their practitioner want to have some idea of when to expect the baby. Here are some explanations for what may seem like regular menstrual flow when you are pregnant.

Implantation bleeding
Many mothers-to-be get a few days of bleeding right around the time that the early embryo is implanting into the wall of the uterus. Generally, this occurs five days after conception and may be confused with an early period. This implantation bleeding is normal and is not a sign of any problem with the pregnancy.

If you have irregular periods or have not kept track of your cycles, you can easily confuse this bleeding with a menstrual period. If it is counted as a menstrual period, this can lead to a mistakenly later due date. In reality the last period from which the due date should be calculated would be the one prior to the implantation bleeding.

Conceiving while using birth control pills
Studies have shown that women who get pregnant while on the Pill might also have intermittent bleeding. There can be a few episodes of this bleeding in these women before they can ascertain that they are pregnant. The calculation of the due date based on the last menstruation will most likely be inaccurate. In such women, it is advisable to go on for ultrasound to date a pregnancy.

when i qott preqnantt i was experiencinqq the SAME EXACT symptoms as these. i beqan to notice them aboutt a monthh after i hadd sex, maybe even less.

thee cramps you are experiencinqq aree probably your body realizinqq thatt there is a fertilizedd eqq in your uterus andd preparinqq itselff to bare a baby insidee .

somee women dontt face symptoms till later on in their peqrnancy & somee women experience symptoms as soon as three weeks so to determine wether its too early to experience symptoms youll just havee to fiqure thatt on out on yourself. Also, remember thatt no two women are the same, neither no 2 preqnancies so thee advice or information you read aboutt may not always apply to you.

as far as my experiences & stories of all my friends ect. i would say thtt you definately are preqnantt .

GOOD lUCk w| everythinqq .
