Are Slight Cramps, Spotting And Headache Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

Hello, My husband and I had sex 9 days ago and im scared I could be pregnant. He did ejaculate inside of me.
I have been having very slight cramps and I had a very little blood/discharge 3days ago and yesterday I had a headache I could not get rid of, but my breast are not sore.

Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
None of the symptoms are specific for a pregnancy.
Also 9 days is way too early to conclusively say whether you are pregnant or not.
The cramps and the spotting could indicate that your period is approaching.
Please mention the date of your last menstrual period.
Also the normal length and duration of your menstrual cycles.
If you do skip your periods, then take a pregnancy test anyway to be absolutely sure.
As such, chances of pregnancy do exist, even without ejaculation.
This is because the pre ejaculatory fluid can harbour sperms.
Risk is more if unprotected sex occurred around the time of ovulation.
All the best.
Take care.
