Could I be pregnant?

[rgriffiths_5717]

The First day of my last period was the 5th October. I have sore and heavy breasts with Veins and enlarged Nipples. Also feeling exhausted. Could I be pregnant my next period isn't due to the 2nd? When should I test?

you would not have symptoms of pregnancy already, you would only be a couple of weeks pregnant, as you don't actually conceive until you ovulate and that normally happens 14 days after you finish your period, so lets say you finished your period on the 9th you would of conceived yesterday, even if you ovulated earlier you would be a couple weeks max you would not have any symptoms

Hi there

If you are concerned about being pregnant I would suggest taking a pregnancy test towards the end of next week.

Best wishes

Ovulation actually occurs 14 to 16 days into a woman's menstrual cycle depending on the length of her cycle. Day 1 of the cycle is the first day of the period. Most women whose cycles last 28 days ovulate on or around the 14th day of the cycle. I'm relatively confident about the accuracy of this information as I've read this on countless different sites. Ovia is a fertility tracker that I actually use to track days when not to have unprotected sex. I reckon the best thing to do is to try and calculate when you may have ovulated and read up about ovulation. An egg released from the ovary can live for up to 24 hours but that doesn't necessarily mean it will. And sperm can live for up to 5 days inside a woman's uterus and Fallopian tubes. If you can calculate an estimation of when you ovulated and whether you had sex around that time it might put your mind at ease? Getting pregnant is actually much tougher than one would think. It all depends on so so many factors from female fertility to strong sperm swimmers to whether or not the sperm just didn't reach the egg on time this time but next time it may happen. The day after your next period is due is the best time to take a test, providing you're late. Unfortunately until then there really is no sure fire way of telling whether or not you are pregnant as it's extremely tricky to distinguish a false negative from an actual negative. Good luck and hope this has helped
