I am a girl of only 17 years of age. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 years and both love each other very much. Though I don't think a family at the moment is the brightest idea.
Over Christmas Break I stayed with him and his family for 3 weeks. Of course we were highly sexually active. We did have unprotected sex, but it wasn't long enough for anything "to be fertilized". (We had unprotected sex a couple of days after my menstral). The rest of time I was with him, I did not experience anything out of the unordinary. That is, until about a month later. (Now). A couple of days ago I have had some recent strain in my memory, I can't seem to think or stay focused. I have been slightly more tired than usual. My breasts have been a little tender for about a week. I have felt sick to my stomach for 3 days. My natural menstral cycle occurs between the 24th-26th and lasts for 4 days. It's the 24th now and although I am experiencing light and uncomfortable cramping, I am only spotting. I have had NO increase in appetite (due to my queasiness), no frequent urination, and although the nipples are highly sensitive, there is no color change. Could I be pregnant?

Hi honey! unfortunately you are TOTALLY misinformed about "it not being long enough for anything to be fertilized" ALL it takes is 1 sperm getting from the penis to the egg! This can happen right away or upto 3 days later! As sperm can live 3 days and an egg 5! With your symtpoms they DEFINITELY sound like pregnancy symtpoms - yet still sound like PMS! Anytime you have unprotected sex you are playing Russian roulette - it's just a matter of time before you become pregnant! Also when you had unprtected sex was right around the time of ovulation - the most optimum time to get pregnant!!!! So only the next couple of days will tell if you are pregnant or not! Actually you could take a HPT right now to see if you are indeed pregnant keeping in mind it take about 21 days before a conceived egg has high enough HCG levels for a pregnancy test to detect! So it could have happend the last time you had unprotected sex and it will be too early to tell! IF you don't want to get pregnant NEVER have unprotected sex! PERIOD!!! So good luck and health!
