Sore breasts and Nausea…is this indicative of early preggo symptoms?

Question

Had sex a few days after my last period (March 26-started, ended on 31st). On the 3rd of April I had protected sex. Sore breasts and their fullness have been consistent since after my period to the point where my fiancé noticed without me asking him about them. I have also only found comfort wearing sports bras. The past couple days I’ve been a little nauseous— not majorly, but periodically throughout the day and today being the most consistent (majority of the afternoon). My next period is predicted to start between the 19th and 24th. I’ve remained fairly calm and neutral because I don’t want to overthink anything, but I would really like some insight if anyone has any. Obviously I’ll take a test when I’m closer to my period but I wanted a little peace of mind— I would love to have a family but I also know how PMS and pregnancy symptoms can be misleading. Thoughts?

Answer

The 3rd would have been a week into this cycle for you so it isnt likely youd ovulate so soon. You also mentioned you had protected sex which means pregnancy would already be less likely. A test should be accurate 2 weeks after sex though and definitely accurate at 20 days after sex. You can test for peace of mind. Your symptoms can just be regular pms symptoms and this cycle was just a little wonky especially since they started soon after your period ended.

Answer

If those symptoms were due to pregnancy a test would be positive. Based on the timing I think it's something else though.

Answer

Idk id have to disagree with Geraldine. Timing seems pretty aligned with symptoms and the possibility of a pregnancy— you need to take a test though to be sure. I’d wait until closer to your start date or buy a pack of two tests so you can take one on your anticipated date or after if you miss it. Good luck!!
