Hi Anon

If you have been having unprotected sex, then you should test for pregnancy but it does also sound like you are getting your period - just a few days earlier than normal.A pregnancy test will be accurate by now.

Hi I really need some feed back I got my period 2weeks late in January it was suppose to come the 9th and it came the last week in Jan. But in Feb. I didn't get it at all I was suppose to get it the 23rd of Feb. it is now the 13th of march and I'm feeling pressure in my abdomen but sense the month of Feb is short I'm thinking it might just be coming late again like in Jan I took four test and they all were negative and it end up coming but the differences this time is me and my husband had a slip up with the pull out method right after my last period please tell me what you think

Hi Anon!

Th first thing you should do is take a pregnancy test to at least rule that out.

Then if your period is a no show and you are still feeling unwell in the abdominal area, see your doctor to find out what may be happening.

Best,

Susan

I am literally terrified that I might be pregnant. I can't take birth control pill because of blood clots so I used a condom and he pulled out, it was the day after my period ended. Lately my periods are almost exactly a month apart, and my next one isn't due for another week and a half. But I've had an uncomfortable feeling in my lower abdomen for the past few days, and today it started cramping. It felt like the cramps I usually get during my period, and I thought maybe I got my period super early...but no blood just cramping. I've had no other early pregnancy signs...not even headaches or soar breasts. I literally cannot be pregnant I'm only 20 and at school, but I took every precaution I could without risking getting sick aside from not having sex (which at this point doesn't seem so shabby compared to the alternant) IUsed a condom, he pulled out, I made sure I wasn't anywhere near ovulation... Could I just have the worst luck in the world and be that .001% that they warn you about on the condom boxes??

Hi Anon

Your risk of pregnancy is extremely low. It seems like you are having extra anxiety, maybe because it's exam time. You may even have a digestive issue, rather than a reproductive one.

I would say the chances of your period coming in 10 days are very high, you may be PMSing early.

Good luck!

I think I am pregnant, but at the same time I think I'm not. Because i don't have any symptoms. My period should start now based on 28 days cycle. I became irregular this past few months because of inject-able contraceptives. But last month I had my period on the 3rd week of October. My husband and I had sex 1 day after the last day of my period. He used withdrawal method, and I believe it is effective for us, cause we've used this a lot before. And ten we had sex 11 days after the last day of my period. Is there a possibilities I maybe pregnant. (We are not trying to be pregnant.) 2 Weeks before I had cramps and ache on my lower back. Please help me.

Hi Anon!

Not all pregnant women have immediate symptoms.

If you had sex on day 11 of your period, you are risking pregnancy, even using the withdrawal method. Days 10 through 18 should be avoided always (and even then there are no guarantees but definable these days!)

If you don't get your period in the next few days, test for pregnancy - you're not even really late yet.

Best,

Susan

Hi I'm just wondering if you could help me, I came off the injection and went onto the pill had my week break had a normal bleed but didn't start my pill again as we're ttc, but I have an ovulation calendar and we had unprotected sex twice before ovulation day and once on ovulation day which was last Thursday 3rd of November, n since then I've had signs that I'm coming on but not due until the 22nd? I get twinges in my belly like butterflies, cramps in my my lower abdomen which I never get, lower back ache, acne which I've never suffered with, feeling sick n dizzy without being sick, the only thing I haven't had is sore breasts, I have taken a test which I knew would be negative cus it was too early, could I be pregnant?
