What Are The Early Signs Of Pregnancy?

Hello, my period is not due for another week and I woke up this morning and had some light blood spotting when I went to the bathroom. It was a dark red/brownish color. Also I woke up in the middle of the night last night sweating profusely. I am 23, work out regularly, have no current illnesses, take no medication, am 5'5' 123 lbs. I had unprotected sex (pull out, bad I know) 5 days ago. Is it too soon to be experiencing any signs or should I be concerned?

Hi,
You had unprotected sex 5 days before,with spotting & night sweating. you are concerned about conception.
It seems you had sex about 12 days prior to your expected day of periods. there are maximum chances of ovulation around 14 days prior to next menses.So you have very rare chance of conception this time if your periods are regular.
This is too early for symptoms of pregnancy to appear.
The sweating you had may be due to excessive hot atmosphere/tension out of fear of conception.
The spotting canbe due to stress during sex/ cervical erosion
* still if you are very much scared, pregnancy can be detected by the expected
date of periods by HCG test of blood .
Thanks.
