I'm really worried and curious about something that happened recently. Is it possible to feel early pregnancy symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue just two days after having intercourse? I know it's super early, but I've been feeling off and can't help but wonder if these could be signs of pregnancy. Can such symptoms show up that quickly, or am I just imagining things?

Symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, and fatigue can occur 2-3 days after intercourse due to various factors:

Ovulation and Implantation

1. Implantation cramps (2-3 days after fertilization)
2. Hormonal changes triggering nausea and fatigue

Other Possibilities

1. Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms
2. Ovulation symptoms (e.g., bloating, cramps)
3. Infection or inflammation (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease)

Pregnancy-Specific Symptoms

1. Implantation bleeding (light bleeding or spotting)
2. Mild cramping (uterine contractions)
3. Breast tenderness
