Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in.
The symptoms that you have described are not suggestive of pregnancy. However, since there is a 15-35% chance that you may have conceived, it is too premature to say anything.
Your symptoms could simply be due to progesterone which is a hormone secreted after ovulation. Progesterone can make you feel the way you do right now.
There is only a single way we can rule out pregnancy and thats by doing a serum beta hCG level when you miss your next period. Alternatively, we can do a urine pregnancy test 1 week after you miss your next period.
Let me know when your period is due and we can take this discussion ahead then

Awaiting your reply
Regards
