My boyfriend and I just started having unprotected sex the 19th of November trying to conceive which at the time I stopped taking my birth control. Usually when I miss a pill I spot and if I don't take another right away I will get my period. I had spotting for a couple of hours but nothing since. Yesterday I was at the doctors office getting treated for a UTI at which point they gave me a pregnancy test that came back negative. My boyfriend and I haven't had sex since about 24 hours before the test was taken. The Doctor said normally the hormones show quickly. What chances do I have that I still could be pregnant? I was heart broken when they told me it was negative.
Just as it took time for the medication to build up in your system to protect you. It will take time to work its way out of your system, anywhere from 30 to 60 days. Generally speaking your first period after you stop taking the medication is when your chances of conceiving are possible.
Getting pregnant is not as easy as just having sex. In fact it is far more complicated than that. For most of us we enjoy our normal sex lives with unprotected sex and within a month or two the women becomes pregnant. For some couples it is a bit more complicated.
The average woman, about 85%, ovulate and are fertile between the 7th and 21st day of their menstrual cycle. This is when the Ovary ejects an egg to be fertilized. If you know just when you ovulate then having sex 3 days before and 3 days after should result in a pregnancy.
For th3 other 15% the can ovulate any time during their cycle including while having their period. Therefore it is important when trying to conceive to know when you are most fertile which is when you ovulate. Talk to your pharmacists to see if they have a kit you can purchase to help you find out just when you ovulate. Then plan to have intercourse during that time frame.
(Rating: 5) I appreciate the advice. I think my question may have been taken differently than I intended. I just wanted to know if it was possibly that I was still pregnant even though the test said negative which after reading online I found out that it takes about 10 days after ovulation for you to get an accurate pregnancy test and that is at the very earliest time. Which since we hadn't even been having unprotected sex for ten days it would be impossible to tell. But I appreciate the advice. Thank you :)
