Could I be pregnant? Please help!!

[Kyoung24]

I had unprotected sex a week before my period was due. I was two days late and it lasted three days. I have very normal periods and have never done this or been late. I was two days late when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and didn’t get my period but this time I had negative pee test. I have some symptoms also. Nauseous, sore/tender breast, headaches, tired. Would blood test be better for me to try? Would it be able to tell me if I’m pregnant this soon? Something just doesn’t feel right to me..

I didn't know I was pregnant with our rainbow because I also had a 3 day period. I was usually on time and last around 4-5 days but I was a couple of days late and the bleeding was quite light compared to usual. I started that period the 2nd of July. I did a test on the 30th as the symptoms were quite strong and found out I was pregnant and I had actually conceived at the end of June.

I'd give it a week just to be sure then try and take another test because if it is too soon, your HCG levels might not be high enough to get a positive test. The bleeding could be implantation bleeding which is usually within the first 12 days of conceiving.

Keep us updated! Wishing you the best! Xx

Hello! With having some of the other symptoms, I would suggest doing another test just to be sure.

Most doctors recommend that you wait until the first day of your missed period before taking a urine pregnancy test. This is usually about two weeks after conception. However, some tests are more sensitive than others and can be taken earlier.

Blood tests can detect a pregnancy earlier than a urine test at about 7-12 days from possible conception.

I hope this helps!

When I found out I was pregnant it didn't show on the first test because it was too early. I would suggest trying another pee test in a week.
