Re: am i pregnant?
I've found or should I say a couple of friends, who were told they couldn't get pregnant stop taking the pill as it didn't seem necessary to be on it and wouldn't you know it they got pregnant!!!!! There is always a chance no matter how small it maybe. Douching or cleaning inside after won't get all the sperm, in fact all your mostly cleaning is the protective fluid that the sperm live in.
Just for educational purposes, the vagina is acidic, which kills sperm. Men produce a fliud along with the sperm that not only protects the sperm from the acidic environment of the vagina but also nourishes and keeps sperm in the manufacturers state. By the time you get out of bed and clean, the majority of sperm is already in your uterus, which is a safe enviroment for sperm. As men ejactulate close to the cervix, it is just a hop, skip and jump into the safe enironment.
The first thing to do is try a hpt (home preg test) and book an appointment with your DR or GP for complete diagnosis. Actually looking at the dates you may want to wait until your next period is due before doing a test. It is not uncommon to have symptoms early as some ppl are more senstive to the preg hormones then others and the more pregnancies you have the more sensitive you are too!
Goodluck!
