Hello Anon

If your tests are negative, it's not likely you are pregnant - your hormones may be imbalanced. But see your doctor if you don't get your period in the next few days - a blood pregnancy test may be ordered. Although very unusual, some women don't show up pregnant on urine tests.

I am currently 7 weeks with baby #3. Don't test test unless you're a week or more later. Also ladies you can not get pregnant 3 days before your period. Your body will feel different if your pregnant and let you know.

I had sex last night (not going to do it again with the guy bc I realized I don't have sexual connection with him). We used a condom, it didn't break or anything. I plan on taking plan B later on today. During this upcoming weekend, I'm going on a cruise with friends and will probably engage in sexual activity. If I use plan B for this guy, then my period is delayed then I have sex with a different guy, is it possible I'd be pregnant from the first guy or the second? Like if I do engage in sexual activity on the boat, I'll be using a condom.I'm sorry this is so awkward, I tried google & I was thinking of asking one of my friends but she'd want to know the guy etc & honestly it's not exactly her business.

Hello Anonymous,

Wait on more week and repeat the test.

I had unprotected sex 3 days before my periods were due. I took a contraceptive the next day morning. I am 12 days late for my period. Although whenever I take a pregnancy test it either comes out to be negative or invalid. No signs of it being positive. I was in my infertile days when I had sex but I still took it as a precaution. Should I be worried?

Hello Anonymous,

There should not have been much of a risk, but the ECP can be the cause of the delay.

Test only if you do not have any bleeding within the next three weeks.

I was supposed to get my period on 9/21 and had sex two days before that (9/19). He pulled up and now I'm three days late. Should I take a test ?

Hello Anonymous,

If your periods are regular, wait until you are late at least one week, then test.

Hello, so I had my last period on August 25, my cycle usually lasts 26 days and I had sex last week , 5 days before my expected period, he pulled out but my period is 3 days late! I am so scared, could my cycle have changed on me and caused me to ovulate last week ?Is it too early to test?
