could i be pregnant?

i have taken about 7 online test and all of them say that it is a high possibility. my symptoms are:

bloating
slight fatigue
overeating (hungry every hr or two, sometimes right after eating) feels as if eating for two
unusual food cravings (ex: love bacon, however ate half a pack in the middle of the night)
tight clothing certain bras and jeans
darker areola and around the nipple
ducts seem more open
achy back
frequent headaches
extreme tiredness
hard to sleep (roughly 7 hr before asleep)
slight cramping

i was just intimate about either the last day of my period or 2 days after. i have an irregular period. my days apart range between 19-35 days. from dec-jan 2012 i was 38 days apart. that was the last time i remember having intercourse up until now. within that course of time one of those months i came on twice. when i try to go to sleep at night it takes about 7 hr. i do not have on anything that could keep me up. when i am going up or down the stairs to class and am very dizzy with headaches. i fall asleep while in class and it's hard to remember things. i did not take a pregnancy test because i feel that it is too early to determine. my boyfriend pulls out beforehand. should i go see a doctor asap?

Nipples don't change for no reason, athough psychmeds can affect them. Everything else can be explained away, but your aeriolas seem like the give away.

Hope I'm wrong because you don't sound like you want to be pregnant, although that's hard to believe from this angle because you don't use protection, and know where babies come from, so maybe on some level you do want a baby afterall.

Buy a test at a pharmacy and in future if you're going to partake in mature activities, be mature about it and practice actual safe-sex and not this Russian Roulette BS pullout method.

Best of luck to you for whatever the future holds

Oh and to answer your orignal question in your thread title, you could be pregnant everytime you have unprotected sex.

Keep well and stay safe.

Trippin did not leave much to discuss, except perhaps to mention that taking a pregnancy test would take less time than writing such a detailed OP must have taken.

Reread OP...

you took SEVEN ONLINE pregnancy tests but

Did not do a urine stick test because you believe it is too early for the urine stick. Test to work?????

I knew the new generation has been shaped by the availability of the Internet, but dud not realize someone could take it THAT FAR.

It sounds like it is time to start taking those pre-natal vitamins and to stop smoking or drinking if you have those habits. Even advil has to go; tylenol is supposed to be okay if needed.

The "pull out method" does not take into account the fluid produced by the cowpers gland. It leaks out in small quantities, and it can contain sperm. Even after a vasectomy, there will still be sperm throughout the entire system for up to 110 days or longer. Urine tends to be sufficiently acidic to kill sperm, so having him go to the bathroom immediately prior to sex would have increased the effectiveness of the "pull out method". Not enough to make it reliable, but anything helps when you use such an unreliable method.

For what its worth, though, if you are sufficiently aware of the symptoms of pregnancy and concerned that you may be pregnant, it is possible that you may be getting the symptoms as a sort of placebo effect. It does happen.

Inedible points out that you can have pregnancy symptoms without being pregnant.

The reverse can also be true. I did not any symptoms at all, until many weeks into the deal.

Due to the fact that a) you can have symptoms but not pregnancy and b) you can have pregnancy and not symptoms...

Online tests which are all about symptoms, per your report, are not so helpful.

Urine and blood tests are therefore better.

it is better to take urine test two weeks after intercourse?

Just take a urine test. Then you will know for certain.

Good Luck

The 'pull out' method isn't the most reliable in the world so yeah, you could be pregnant. But, that's impossible to know until you either give birth or take a pregnancy test
Do one ASAP, but if its negative do another one at a later date, say a few days maybe a week after the first one. If you don't see your period by the time you reach the longest time you'd have to wait, then test again. Very occasionally some women will keep getting negative results with a urine test, so if you're still worried after doing the above, or your period still doesn't show, then ask your doctor for a blood test and explain what's going on.
If you're not pregnant and you don't want to become pregnant then I'd seriously look at other methods of contraception because unless you know your cycle inside out, which you don't, then your current method really isn't a safe one and even if you did know your cycle like the back of your hand, I'd not like to rely on that anyway. The implant can be great because its there for three years and means you don't have to remember taking anything, but you have to be careful if you have any mental health problems because it can trigger depression. I had it with no adverse effects, I didn't even get a period while using it which was great! But it's not for everyone. I'm sure your doctor will be happy to talk through other means though if that's not for you. Having said that about pulling out, I did the same myself many years ago and never got pregnant. So it doesn't by any means mean that you definitely are, it's just not reliable enough at all if you really don't want to be.
Anyway, I hope you get the outcome you want, and I hope you're ok.

Hi there Jane. I hope I can help.

To answer the technicalities, yes, it is quite possible. The "pull out" method is thoroughly unreliable, and is largely a result of misinformation regarding pregnancy. There is a very significant amount of sperm in preejaculate (the fluid produced by the Calper's Gland, as mentioned), and it's nigh impossible to "pull out" for that...as a guy, you sort of just...lol emit that, as best I can put it. It's not a plannable thing. In the future, please invest in condoms or birth control as to avoid things like this. The pull out method is not adequate as an only line of defense.

I am not knowledgeable about the timing of pregnancy tests, but I believe that, if memory serves, they should give you reliable results this late in if you are indeed pregnant. You need to know sooner rather than later, as to weigh your options.

I am sorry you are in this position, and I know you must be scared (I am assuming you are my age or a little younger). If I can do anything for you, feel free to PM me. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,
Harley

Jane,

What did the test show?

the online test showed that it was a high possibility that i could be pregnant. they said that i showed a lot of pregnancy symptoms. last night, i began to have lower back aches and this morning migraines. on my way to class, as soon as i got off the bus and took five steps my feet began to ache and feel weak. i took an actual pregnancy test two days ago and it was negative. the pregnancy test is called clear blue. i would have to take it again in a week to week and a half.

Hopefully, the repeat test will be negative again.

I would not worry about or try to interpret any of your symptoms, because all of them might be a result of your believing that you might be pregnant.

i ate a half a plate of chicken with hot sauce and biscuit. thirty min later i was still hungry and decided to eat a cup of ramen noodles. another thirty min later i was still hungry so i decided to eat a second cup of ramen noodles. my tongue tasted like alka seltzer. it truely felt as if after i ate the ramen noodles that i had no taste in my mouth. another 30 went by and i ate berry bunch o crunch cereal which is my favorite. as i ate the bowl of cereal i began to become disgusted by the taste of the sugar. for the past two days it seemed as though everything that i ate made my stomach cramp. later that night i had mild lower back pains 1am. i did some research and they said that around 10-14 days after conceiving that implantation takes place. they also said that one could experience mild lower back pains and cramps. these are not the type of cramps that you would get if you were on your menstrual because it would hurt a lot worse.

Jane, please try to relax a bit...I know, way easier said than done ATM, but there is the possibility you're stressing yourself into believing you are pregnant.

Try taking the test again in a bit as recommended by the box. Until then, please try to remain calm...I know I'm advising something difficult there, but Hamster is correct. The more you connect mentally what could be happenstance symptoms to pregnancy, the more solidified the thought process is going to be.

In my prayers, and hoping nothing but the best for you,
Harley

A person who consumes so much food may experience all sorts of unusual symptoms, including stomach cramps. You might still be pregnant or not pregnant.

Not to make you freak out any further, but all my tests were negative, throughout my pregnancy.

Driving yourself nuts because you have symptoms just exacerbates them.

If your next urine test is also negative I advise a blood test, as that cannot be inconclusive.

I do so hope you are not pregnant.

I second the blood test recommendation and the hope that you are not pregnant.

You need to go to a doctor, midwife, clinic, planned parenthood, etc.

I am thinking about going within the next to days to first confirm if my menstrual cycle is irregular. Should I also get a full check up. I am unsure if I should get a blood or urine test that day for pregnancy or next week?

Today I am experiencing extreme irritability and more lower back pains. My breast seem to look normal however. No change in color around the areola or nipple.

Per OP, your menstrual cycle IS irregular - the regular cycle is 28 days, or, you can have a different but consistent cycle (say, 21 days, each cycle).

OP: "my days apart range between 19-35 days. from dec-jan 2012 i was 38 days apart."

that is extremely irregular - you do not need a professional opinion to confirm that.

Regarding the full check-up: to save money, you first need to determine whether you are pregnant. If you are, then you will determine your next steps with that knowledge. If you are not pregnant, then you might want to do a full check-up, but possibly after waiting for a few weeks. People on here suspect that your symptoms are a result of your thinking/beliefs/worries, etc., so they may go away on their own if the blood test shows that you are not pregnant.

if cost is not a concern, then sure, get a full check-up.

Inform the clinic of your LMP (date of last menstrual period) and they will tell you how to proceed.

I have been feeling like throwing up all day. I ate some spinach, chicken and corn earlier and i can't keep it down. I know that I need food in my system, but I'm afraid to consume whatever's left.

Can you drink liquids (milk, smoothies, etc.)? They are just as nourishing as solid foods and are easier to keep down.
