Some women even associate common cold-like symptoms, like a runny nose, with early pregnancy. If you are nauseated, vomiting, cramping, or having headaches only a couple to a few days after having sex, it is unlikely that these have to do with pregnancy from that experience.
Having a runny nose is not normally connected to early pregnancy unless you are experiencing other symptoms of early pregnancy along with it. If all you have is a runny nose, this is unlikely indicative of a pregnancy. If so, it is time to consider seeking emergency care. Am I Pregnant, Or…? Am I pregnant, or am I about to start my period?

A baby pressing on the bladder in the third trimester is not the only thing that causes frequent urination during pregnancy.

After age 30, the chance of becoming pregnant decreases though, and by the time they are 40, they have a 1 in 10 chance of getting pregnant each month.

A misshaped uterus or buildup of tissue in the uterus are two examples of things that can prevent this process from happening as expected. Some types of birth control can impact or delay future fertility even if they are reversed or otherwise stopped.
Other methods like tubal ligation or a vasectomy can have a long term impact on your fertility that may never be fully reversible. There are many medical issues that can impact your fertility.
Some common ones include polycystic ovary syndrome PCOS and endometriosis. You should also see a fertility specialist if you have a history of multiple miscarriages or are aware of a genetic or other medical condition that would impact your fertility.
