Hi,

Nausea, loss of appetite, breast tenderness, and fatigue can be signs of pregnancy, but they can also be caused by other conditions. Given that you had unprotected intercourse 7 days after the ultrasound, it is possible that you could be pregnant, although it is too early to tell for sure. The symptoms you are experiencing can also be related to a hormonal imbalance, a gastrointestinal issue, or other conditions.

It's important to take a pregnancy test to confirm whether or not you are pregnant. You can purchase a home pregnancy test from a pharmacy or make an appointment with your healthcare provider to have a pregnancy test done. If the test is negative, it's still a good idea to follow up with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.

If you are pregnant, it's important to schedule prenatal care with your healthcare provider as soon as possible to ensure the best outcome for you and your baby. If you are not pregnant, your healthcare provider can help you explore other potential causes of your symptoms and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,

Nausea, loss of appetite, and breast pain can be symptoms of early pregnancy, but they can also have other causes. Enlargement of the uterus can be a sign of pregnancy, but it can also be caused by other conditions, such as uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts.

You may be pregnant if you had unprotected intercourse 7 days after the ultrasound. However, it is also possible that your symptoms are due to other causes, such as a gastrointestinal infection, hormonal changes, or stress.

If you suspect that you may be pregnant, the best way to confirm it is to take a pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests are easily available at drugstores almost everywhere. These tests are very accurate when used correctly and can detect pregnancy as early as a few days after a missed period.

It is also important to discuss your symptoms and concerns with a healthcare provider, who can perform a physical exam, order additional tests if necessary, and provide appropriate treatment or referrals. If you are pregnant, early prenatal care is important for a healthy pregnancy and baby.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
