And also..
My period is due this week. I've had the normal mild non-severe symptoms I usually get on the 3rd week of my cycle leading up to the actual flow.
But I've been a bit paranoid. I got curious and looked up pregnancy symptoms and they looked the same as what I'm feeling (because I have a few new symptoms I rarely get, if at all)..
This month I did have unprotected sex near my ovulation time. I stopped my boyfriend shortly into it. Feeling a bit unsure. He swore he didn't pre-ejaculate since we didn't do it for that long. (Amazingly..he's one those guys who can control themselves...hard to believe..but it's true.) He kept telling me we didn't do it for that long. I know pre-ejaculation has a low risk of pregnancy, but it has a risk nontheless.
So these are my symptoms. The new one(s) is/are in bold:
Severe lower back pain (normal)
Headaches/migraines (occasionally)
Muscle ache/joint pains ((especially in my legs and sometimes neck)) (occasionally)
Fatigue (occasionally.. but this week or two it's been pretty bad)
Over-sleeping
Nauseous (but when I eat meals it goes away)
Dizziness (it goes away in a few seconds and/or minutes..it usually comes with the nauseous feeling.. if I eat something right away it goes away)
That weird menstrual blood smell (it hasn't even spotted or come yet)
Always having hunger pains/being hungry
Craving dairy/chocolate (of course..)
Always having to pee (but it almost looks just like female secretion..it's mainly clear but yellow at the same time)
Always having to go..erm.. number 2 (it's been a normal symptom as of this year)
Becoming somewhat..very gassy (Normal.. of course.)
Ankle pain/Swollen ankles/feet (New..but it started last month and I had a regular 2-3 day cycle)
Yeast Infection flares up like all hell (yes, I have a yeast infection..ever since I was 8..around my pms time/period it itches and burns..)
Feverish feelings (Occasionally)
My breasts seem harder/a bit tender and bigger than normal (rarely)
I use to drink a lot of soda. I stopped about 2-3 weeks ago..not even like lowering how much I had..just going off it for good Maybe lack of caffeine during this time could have some effect?
If I were over 20 I'd almost welcome a kid. But since I'm between the ages of 16-19, I'm not ready of course!
I've already talked with my boyfriend. We're stopping sex for good..even with condoms. We don't want to take risks (I know condoms lower the risk even more..but it's not fool-proof.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
(I just made an edit because I almost left out an important symptom as well as ones I just forgot to put)

The time we had unprotected sex when I was unsure was about 2-3 days before ovulation. That was about 3 weeks ago.

Anyways All I know, is that cutting right back on soda, is healthy but takes away ALOT of sugar, I know this because I got dizzy and light headed when I did it, and my doctor said just replace the sugar from soda, with sugar from a juice or something, and that should go away. So maybe you could try that

Hello,
Some of the symptoms you describe can absolutely be early signs of being pregnant: nausea, fatigue, needing to urinate more often, cramps, and tender breasts. Things like food cravings and swollen ankles really do not come along until much further in a pregnancy, like the second trimester, however.
Cramps and fatigue, along with mood swings, might be typical PMS symptoms. Nausea and needing to pee more often aren't. So I do think there's a chance you could be pregnant, but also, women who are TTC often "start experiencing symptoms that are not there" because they are really hoping to be pregnant. That's nothing to be ashamed of. I've had it happened myself.
Anyway, all you can do is wait and see.

my bf and I had sex right around the end of my last period... unprotected and I'm still kicking myself for it. I started antihistimines for a bad allergic reaction 2 weeks before we had sex and was still ending my period after we had sex (i thought it was over but i ended up spotting for 2 more days after)
The following week my breasts started to feel tender and larger and then I started seeing heavy spotting 2 weeks before my period was due again. I attribitued this mainly to my new roommate getting hers that week (i get "sympathetic" periods easily and my body always seems to want to cycle up with those around me)
It wasn't a full period though. It was brownish spotting, but would fill up whole liners
I just started teh placebo pills of my BC this past morning and should be takign my 2nd one today and just yesterday I had very heavy mucus discharge (white stuff) and today i was very dizzy and had a slight headache.
Alot I know...
help?
