Unprotected Sex, Headaches, Nausea, Loss Of Sleep, Fluctuations In Appetite, Mood Swings. Pregnancy Symptoms?

I had unprotected sex on 12/26/12 and on 1/6/2012. My last period was 12/10/12 and from November-December my cycle was 39 days. I have not been feeling well ( headache , sometimes nausea but no actual throwing up, exhaustion but having trouble sleeping, fluctuations on appetite , mood swings which are out of character, and had cramps on 1/11/12). Could I be pregnant?

Hello,

Thanks for posting on HCM

From your description, you are presenting with typical signs of pregnancy with missed period ( 39 days amenorrhea and the other symptoms plus the fact that you had unprotected sex just around 14 days post your 1st day of last menstrual period. This greatly increases the chances of you getting pregnant. Doing a urine pregnancy test now or dosage of beta HCG in blood will be a good way to start. If pregnancy test is negative then paying a visit to your gynobs will be well indicated to rule out possible infection or underlying diseases.

Hope this helps
