: : About two weeks ago (two weeks on Sat.), my partner and I had unprotected sex...the next morning I had an instinctual feeling that I was pregnant (seems weird but I have just had this feeling)...then about 9 days later I got a light pinkish/brown discharge when I went to the bathroom, that happend for about 2 days...but it was so light that it only showed up very faintly and not on a panty liner ect. Then a day later my breasts have started getting tender when I sit, lay down, shower...but not when I'm up walking around and moving. I don't usually get any tenderness in my breats when ovulating or before my period, so it's very unsual to me. I noticed yesterday they have changed a little in firmness, and the nipples are getting bigger. I have also had some very faint cramping around the time of the slight discharge ( I believe it to be implantation bleeding, but I'm not sure), as well as headaces, SLIGHT nausea (not throwing up) in the mornings and evenings, as well as leg cramping and slight back aches. I have also started to have cravings for things like pizza and ranch and pickles and ranch. The problem is, I don't know when my last period was as I am not typically regular...I took several tests, and they have come up negative, but I still believe there is a possibility...what home pregnancy tests are the best to use, and how long should I wait to take one since it has only been about 13 days since the time of uprotected sex? Should I wait another week before taking a test? Should I start taking prenatal vitamins just incase...any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks!
: allthose symptoms wouldnt be 13 days from the the time you had sex
Actually, according to all the people that I've talked to who have been pregnant before, including one of my friends who is only 1 month and a half pregnant, as well as MANY (20+) websites on pregnancy symptoms, those symptoms can show up as soon as 1-14 days. Of course my symptoms are not STRONG, but they are present, and seem to be getting stronger as time goes by. Thanks for the advice, but I believe from everything I've heard/read ect., that the symptoms can show up sooner than you think, just many who aren't trying aren't as aware of them...but I definitely know my body, and it feels different than it ever has before!
