: Hi guys,

: I suspect that I am pregnant, but I have not missed my period yet so I haven't taken a test. I have read so much on symptoms and I have many of them. Is that possible so soon?
: Examples: naseau (at night but always around the same time)
: tender breasts (this usually happens to me right before my period but it is still over a week off)
: severe constipation
: peeing all the time etc....

Yes, there can be pregnancy symptoms since the time the sperm unites with the egg (fertilization) which happens 10 to 14 days after your period which is during ovulation, but you won't be able to confirm it until you are at least 2 weeks late and take a home pregnancy test. Ovulation and PMS could also cause the same symptoms as could a bladder infection.
