Question Well I had sex with my boyfriend like 2 weeks ago and i am sopposed to have my period around this time. I got a little last week but only a drop and i ve been feeling tierd and dizzy all of a sudden do you think it possible that im pregnant
Answer Hey Brenda,
The symptoms of pregnancy can take time to show up and it could be possible that if you have had unprotected sex with your boyfriend that you could be pregnant. There is always a risk of pregnancy occuring when a condom is not used during sex; especially if you are not using any other contraceptives. It is important to remember though that using condoms can also protect you against sexually transmitted infections and that is why, even if you are using a contraceptive pill but sleeping with someone you don't know too well, you should use a condom.
Your periods may naturally fluterate before finding a pattern; but if you normally have your period around the same time every month up until now and you are unsure if you have had one or not, it could be time for you to do a pregnancy test just to put your mind at ease.
If you are feeling tired or dizzy, you could be a bit aneamic which is when your body lacks iron; but to rule this out or get you treated, you will need to see a doctor or a nurse to get this confirmed.
