Dear Stephanie: I understand you concern about probable pregnancy. According to your description of the events you are three days late on your period. The symptoms that you have might be a little early to be related to pregnancy. Usually these types of symptoms are present at the 5^th week post conception.

If you had unprotected sex and your menses are still not present yet, you should take another pregnancy test in the next couple of days. If the result this time is positive, a blood pregnancy test done by your healthcare provider might be needed to confirm this. I wish you the best.
