“Am I pregnant or is it just in my head?”
I had sex on Jan. 27 and 2 days later I had what seemed like my period but it was 12 days early and a lot lighter than it normally is. Afterward, it seemed like spotting, it only lasted 2 days and was light brown/pinkish in color. It is now Feb. 17 and I have been experiencing almost every pregnancy symptom but I'm still waiting to see if my period comes or not I have taken a test but it was negative but something keeps telling me that I'm pregnant it's hard to explain. Could this all be in my head or could I really be pregnant? We used a condom and I know he came and I know for a fact that I did not but afterward it felt like there was semen down there so I checked and it looked like it was semen and I know for a fact that I did not come but I know he did. Either my body is lying to me or I might be pregnant? I really need some advice.

The best way to know if you are pregnant is to get a blood serum pregnancy test done that is called a Quantitative HCG test. It actually gives you a number that will double every 2 days if you are pregnant and if the pregnancy is growing properly, but it won’t always tell you if the pregnancy is growing in the right place (in the uterus, but it could also grow in the tube which is a big problem). Condoms can be outdated and ‘leaky’ even if there appears to be no holes, so always check the expiration on the wrapper. The fact that you may not have had orgasm with contractions doesn’t mean you aren’t pregnant. Best to let your blood give you the answer.
