Question : On may 1st I had sex. Two weeks later I had my period on schedule & everything seemed normal. The other day I had my period, it came about 5 days early thought his month. In the last month I feel like my uterus has been getting bigger. It could just be me being paranoid but I was wondering if there's anyway I could be pregnant? I haven't had any other pregnancy symptoms. I did start a new job where I'm sitting a lot more so I guess that could have contributed to me gaining weight.

Brief Answer:
unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hello, its unlikely that you are pregnant. Its ok that your period came few days early. Also size of the uterus doesnt increase this fast. If you feel that you are gaining weight, then there could be other hormonal causes. Bloating often occurs due to water retention, thyroid problems etc. Inactivity can also cause water retention.
