Hello Anonymous,

wait until your period is late by at least seven days and test for pregnancy. Or you can take an early response test tomorrow morning. For the most accurate result, test with the urine when you first wake up and use the bathroom.

I got my nexplanon taken out June 13 and been having unprotected sex since. My period was due around the 25 but still no sign of it,just mild cramping. My period was irregular while on nexplanon but 3 months before taking it off I started getting it around the same time every month so I'm assuming I missed my period. I test negative since it's only been 13 days since the first time I had unprotected sex could I still be pregnant or did taking off my birth control mess with my body!?

Hi! I had unprotected humping (without actual penetration am still a virgin) when I was 1 day late on my period. It's been 5 days now, and it's still not here. Could it be due to pregnancy or BC of a change in lifestyle routine since its been a month since I started a new job?

Hi Anonymous,

The lifestyle routine change is most likely the cause for the delay. The stress associated with starting a new job is probably the culprit.

Hi,
I had sex four days before my cycle and according to the P Tracker App, it was on a fertile day. My cycle just came on today which makes it 9 days late. Should I take a test tomorrow or is it certain that I am pregnant?

Hey there,
I am trying to conceive , i had the marina in and taken out about 2-3 months ago. I have always had irregular periods. I got a period on the 11th of may and stopped 5 days later. I have not had once since, my partner and i had sex everyday from the 28th of may to the 2nd of June. I have since than gotten sore boobs, cramps but not like period cramps, headaches, and a white creamy discharge (lots of it). I have taken a million pregnacy tests and all negative, one came up with a faint line but went away after 1 min. I honestly think i am pregnate and cannot get the feeling out if my head- unsure if this is just wish full thinking. I took 2 ovulations test as well and they came up with two lines 4 days ago but now they just have 1 line. Is it too early to test for pregnacy? Or am I just not pregnant :( please help

Hello Anonymous,

I can appreciate how you must be feeling right now.

With a history of irregular menstrual cycles, you may have tested too early.

Wait until at least June 18. If you still have not started your period, take one more test. Test in the morning. Use the urine when you first wake up. It is concentrated and will give you the most accurate result.

You can always contact your gynecologist, who can order a blood pregnancy test. Levels of hCG, which is the hormone produced by the cells that form the placenta, can be detected in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception, and in blood about 11 days following conception.

Best of luck,
Maryann

My withdrawal bleeding last up to 2days from pills as ecp - 1 week after must be my period. But I am 5days late now. But I have thick mucous discharge yesterday. I read that sperm may be discharge as mucous. What is the meaning of that discharge? Am I having a baby?
