Pregnancy Info HOME

If you have regular periods, like every 28-30 days normally, having s_x a week ago would put you at risk for getting pregnant as that was your peak fertile window. For most women they ovulate in the middle of their cycle. The first day of your period is considered cycle day 1 and ovulation typically occurs anywhere from day 11 or 12 to day 16 or 17. Keep in mind it can happen earlier or later for some women. If you did happen to conceive it takes 6-10 days for a fertilized egg to travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus and implant itself. Until then you are technically not pregnant yet and your body doesn't produce the pregnancy hormone, hcg, which is responsible for pregnancy syptoms. Being that this happened a week ago it would be too early to experience anything just yet. For most women a missed period is their first clue and sometimes sore or tender b___st. It could be that the stress of possibly being pregnant is causing you to eat more. Unfortunately there is not much you can do at this point except to wait for your period. It's too late to take Plan B and too early to test. I wish you the best and hope this all works out for you. And BTW, while you are a small person that shouldn't lead to an increased risk of miscarriage (if you are pregnant).

well i took an online ovulation estimator based off my last three periods (11/21 12/15 & 1/11) it replied with 26 as my period length. i have sore b___sts, moodswings like crazy, & im not stressing about being pregnant because i want to be. im young but very financially stable & i raise my 5yr old brother from birth til currently. that was my first time in years w/ a male in such a way being that im lesbian. i was also told im underweight for age & height which could cause miscarriage but obviously thats false:) what i need to know is when should i take a pregnancy test & when will i be ovulating so i can try again ? -&thank you for helping me. your amazing:) i have noone else to ask, they all tell me the basics & i believe pregnancy is just a bit more complicated then they make it seem.

With a 26 day cycle you need to be having s_x cycle days 8 thru 12. Don't waste money on pregnancy tests until a normal period is late, and run a second test a week later if the first is negative. GL!

You should wait to test until your are a day or 2 late with your period, anything earlier may not give you an accurate result. If you continue to have unprotected s_x on a regular basis and have no fertility issues the chances of you becoming pregnant within the next few months are pretty high. I do hope you have thought this all through. While having a child is amazing it is also the hardest job in the world. I have a 2 year old and i'm exausted all the time, just doing simple things like going to the store can be very challenging. I'm not saying having kids is a bad thing but waiting until you are a little older and a little more settled in life does make it easier. I wish you all the best and hope it all works out for you.
