Am I Pregnant?

Hi guys,
I don’t know if this is the correct forum to post in so excuse me if it’s not.
So me and my now ex boyfriend had protected sex about 3 weeks ago and I was going through ovulation at this time.
I don’t know why but I’ve started to feel really sick recently, I’ve had cramping, I get tired so easily, I have a metallic taste in my mouth and other symptoms.
I checked online and I found out that these are pregnancy symptoms. My mum also thinks that I might be pregnant too. I’m just a bit shocked because we used protection.
Can someone please give me some idea about what’s going on!
I’m due on my period tomorrow so I don’t know if I should go out and get a pregnancy test or what!
Many thanks x
I’d say wait and see if your period comes. If a couple days pass after your expected “Day 1”, go and get the pregnancy test.
Make sure you get a couple of pregnancy tests to confirm the pregnancy. I'm assuming the condom broke but did you... feel anything special during humpty dumpty?

Hi there

This is the right place :smile:

If you are worried about your symptoms it's advisable to go to a doctor or nurse.

It's a good idea to take a pregnancy test just to be sure. You can take a pregnancy test from the first day of a missed period, or up to three weeks after sex.

Have you started a new form of contraception? Sometimes people can get symptoms that are similar to pregnancy when they start some forms of hormonal contraception such as the combined pill- have a look at the side effects section of this leaflet.

Sometimes people mistake PMT for pregnancy, so that's something to consider too. Again, if you are worried please speak to a doctor or nurse.

It's good that you can talk to your mum about this - communication is key.

Good luck!

Daisy
