“Pregnancy concern?”
I had unprotected sex on October 22nd around 1 am later that day I got my period. About a week after I started having stomach cramps and having trouble pooping. Which went away. Then I had some other symptoms over the weeks such as headaches, lower back pain, stomach pain/cramps, a little bit of clear/watery discharge. The symptoms would come and go. Could I be pregnant? Would pregnancy symptoms like those show up so soon? Now I’m currently having back pain and slight stomach pain/cramps. I’m also a little bloated. My period app says it’s supposed to arrive in about 4 days but my period is kinda irregular. Could these symptoms I’m currently experiencing be from my period supposedly arriving soon? I also thought these symptoms could be a UTI which I’ve never had. Can someone pls help? Im scared I could be pregnant. I also know people say there’s a low chance of becoming pregnant a day before your period. Is that true? It has been 4 weeks since that unprotected sex and I haven’t had sex since then. What do you think is going on? What do these symptoms mean? Is 4 weeks after sex long enough for pregnancy symptoms to show or for pregnancy to happen? I really need help. What does all these mean? Pregnancy? Or could it be something like a UTI?

Your situation is extended and with multiple nonspecific complaints. I would recommend that you see your primary care physician or your gynecologist as soon as possible, and if you don’t have a doctor in your life, I suggest you go either to Planned Parenthood or to your local county medical clinic very soon.
In two weeks, get a home pregnancy test. Unfortunately, can’t guarantee that you can’t get pregnant 2-3 days before your period, but the chances are low.

Please see a doctor as soon as possible to make sure you don’t have a sexually transmitted infection like gonorrhea or chlamydia!
