Question
Ok, i ended my period on May 30, ever since i ended i have been having unprotected sex like 4 times a week. Ever since then i have had dizzy spells, mood swings, food cravings, breast tenderness, and sleepy more than usual. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet, and my period is due next week....i think, but i just want to know now is there a high chance that i could be pregnant?

Answer
Hmmm, it sounds like you are pregnant, but it is very early in the pregnancy to be having so many symptoms. Missing your period is a very strong sign, so you should wait till then to be more sure. If you miss you period, do a pregnancy test at home or at your doctors.

Expertise

I love questions on condoms, the pill, what to do if contraception fails, if you could be pregnant, obtaining contraception (Even without parental permission). I have a lot of experience with teenagers. One thing I don't know too much about is the IUD, but I'm working on it. I really do care about the people that ask me questions! I don't mind lots of follow up, and I like to know if things turned out okay. I'll be with you every step of the way!
