Pregnancy Symptoms and Advice PLEASE?

Hello, My name is A..
I'm a little concerned because in the past month and a half i have been feeling some weird symptoms and pains.
I am wondering if i am possibly pregnant, or this is just regular for my body.
My fiancée and i have had unprotected sex about 4 times since the beginning of February, but he has never fully ejaculated inside.
I wouldnt say that i missed a period, but the weird thing is this month, i had my period (which came 3 days late), and was very light spotting (which is irregular for my periods) and ended up lasting only 3 days total. This has never happened before.
anyways....
Some of my symptoms include;
Migraines (first time in my life... i have NEVER had migraines before now)
Breast soreness/growth (went from a size 34 B to a 32C)
Bodyaches- in the neck, lower back, shoulder blades, and obliques
lower abdominal pain (normally comes after sex and lasts for 3 hours)- cant sit or walk
cravings (desert items/dairy products & starch items)
moody (lately i cry a lot, and have constant mood swings)
large amount of weight gain in a month (i am fairly small for my age, at 126 lbs, and went to 140 lbs in a month)

So, i need some advice. Do i go to planned parenthood and find out? or let this continue? Should i be worried? or is this not an issue to consider?
Thanks

So What Happened?

So, first of all, I want to thank ALL of you for giving me advice. You were all very helpful!
And second of all, I am exactly 11 weeks PREGNANT. I'm both nervous and excited.
I am very young to have a baby, but my fiancee and I feel that we are ready. Can any of you give me advice on parenting now?? That would help very much!

Thanks again,
A.

You need to take a pregnancy test, and get on prenatal vitamins, whether you are pregnant or not. Having unprotected sex will eventually lead to pregnancy and taking the vitamins before is highly recommended to prevent/reduce the risk of spinal birth-defects.

I would say to take a pregnancy test. If you are pregnant then you need to have prenatal care. Make sure you do not have an etopic pregnancy which means your pregnancy is in your fallopian tubes. I say this because of the pains you are having. Make sure you are ok and potentially the life of the unborn child. Good luck

Have you missed a period? If you have unprotected sex, you can always be pregnant. I have never heard of having 3 hours worth of pain that you can't sit or stand as a pregnancy symptom so I would go to the doc just for that. Hope you feel better.

You def could be pregnant. Are your nipples darker and have crazy looking vains on your boobs? Thats how I knew I was pregnant with this one. Get a pregnancy test, and then a good OB doc. Of course if you are having unprotected sex its always an issue to consider.

Your symptoms can point to conditions other than pregnancy, too, and this warrants immediate investigation with a physician. You should write down all of your symptoms to discuss at your appointment. Do NOT be dissuaded from discussing ALL of your symptoms and concerns. It's your body and your health, and your doctor should not brush off any of your concerns.
(As a side-note, 32C and 34B are "sister" sizes -- the cup size of these bras is supposed to be the "same", the difference should be a minor one in the chest strap ... a 32 chest strap fits 30-32-34 rib cage and a 34 chest strap will fit 32-34-36 rib cage, depending on where you fasten it - allegedly, BUT many bras vary by brand. The overall cup volume between a 32C and a 34B is the same - it's just the fit around the rib cage that is different. Have you been measured recently? It's always good to have a good and right-fitting bra in exactly your size. Also important to remember that bra sizes will fluctuate with weight gain and weight loss as well. The most important fit on your bra will be the rib cage band, as that's where the bra's support originates. It seems counterintuitive to go down in the rib cage size with weight gain or pregnancy, but I suppose it could happen.)

Take a pregnancy test today. The symptoms may be caused by something else, but you could very well be pregnant. A pregnancy test will tell you one way or another. If it's negative, I would also go to my Dr. to discuss these other symptoms.

What are you waiting for? Go to the doctor! If you are not pregnant, then you may have a thyroid issue or something else going on. Any way you look at it, the pain, weight gain, etc, aren't normal and you should be checked out.

I would go to the doctors...I've never heard of that much weight gain in the 1st week of pregnancy...although maybe the cravings helped that..J. take a test..or go to Planned parenthood....good luck i hope you get the results you want! Also I believe sometimes our body has miscarriages in the very begining without us knowing, if it didn't take, that could be it too
