Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex the night before I got my period. I got my period, as usual, the day after. But about two weeks later, I feel extremely nauseous as soon as I wake up and it lasts throughout the day. I feel light headed, I have headaches, and I feel crampy, my sense of smell seems to be heightened. I have these symptoms every day. Could I be pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Nadia Khan

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

No, you are not pregnant possibly, because having sex just right before periods does not result in pregnancy. Secondly, if someone gets pregnant even then the symptoms of pregnancy does not show up quickly (15 days after having sex). You might be having stress and anxiety which is causing all these symptoms. You need to relax now and wait for your next periods to start. Hope it has helped you. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
