Me and my husband had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago. Been off BC for about 2 months. This week I have been experiencing light brown discharge and spotting off and on but not enough to wear a tampon all day. Mainly when I wipe. I am also very bloated, bad back pain, very tired and eating more than usual. I took two EPT test and both negative. I am to start tomorrow or the next day...could I be pregnant?

Q: Could I be pregnant?

If you haven't had a period since you had sex three weeks ago then you have taken the home tests too soon.
You say you are to start in a day or two..., if you mean your period is due then, what you need to do is, if your normal period is more than a week late than you should take a home pregnancy test then, or you could be tested by a doctor. Those are the only two reliable ways to know that you are, or not, pregnant.

If your only lovemaking was 3 weeks ago, and your period normally comes about now, you are not likely to have conceived. You are fertile about 2 weeks before your period next comes, which on a 28 day cycle, is also 14 days after your last period started. Good luck.
