I have been feeling sick 5 days after unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I have been feeling cramps, nausea every morning and a lot of breast pain. Could this be a sign of early pregnancy?

Tender breasts, cramping and nausea can all be early signs of pregnancy, and the symptoms can present themselves within the first week following conception.

Early signs of pregnancy

  • Your nipples and/or breasts may feel more sensitive. They may feel tender, tingly and even larger than usual. Your nipples can also change colour
  • You may notice some bleeding, or spotting as it's often called, which can often be mistaken for a period
  • Many women often feel more fatigued than usual
  • Your emotions can be all over the place during pregnancy because of your changing hormones, and you can start to notice this right away
  • You can begin craving more food or different types of food
  • Feeling sick, or actually being sick are often symptoms of pregnancy
  • A positive pregnancy test is of course a big indicator, too!

If you've had unprotected sex, the chances of pregnancy are greatly increased. You should take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant, but do bare in mind that these are not always accurate, particularly early on in a pregnancy.

It's also a good idea to speak to your doctor, as they can give you the best advice, and there are more options available for you early on in a pregnancy.

In the meantime, you can find some great advice about what to do next at Fpa.org.
