Tightening, Cramps Like Pain In Stomach, Fatigue, Mood Swings. History Of Having Sex Within A Week After Periods. Possible Pregnancy?

Hello I have been off period for five days now and I had sex the day after my period and a few more times after in the past week, I have had tightening of the stomach, little pains in my stomach like cramps but I know it's not, I feel like I have no energy in me even when I get a good nights rest, i'm moody and I feel sick every now and then and i'm not worried but I need to know if I should take a pregnancy test or wait. My best friend said that if I have had sex within the seven days after my period I would become pregnant what should I do?

Hi Dear,
In a female with regular regular 28-30 days cycle, the most fertile days re between 8-18th day calculated from the day of onset of periods.
Any unprotected sex during this period increases the chances of your pregnancy.
If you had sex within a week after your periods than it comes in the fertile time and there are chances of conceiving.
the symptoms you are experiencing are vague, do not point to pregnancy.
Anyways get a pregnancy test done immediately in case of missed period
All the best
