Hey there - I'm not a doctor, just a pregnant lady, but here's what I know, if it helps. Generally, you will ovulate 14 days before the start of your next period, so if you have a "standard" 28 day cycle (who does!) then you will ovulate around day 14 of your cycle. You can only get pregnant if the sperm fertilizes the egg during the 24 hours it lives after ovulation. The fertilized egg would take another 6-10 days to travel to your uterus and implant, which means that your body doesn't know it is pregnant until (again, in a textbook scenario) 21-28 days after the start of your last period. So, it sounds to me like you probably wouldn't even be fertile until this weekend, which means that you can't be pregnant now. UNLESS, of course, you were already pregnant before this last period, and you were experiencing implantation bleeding. When in doubt, go see your doc for a blood test. Hope you feel better soon!
