Nervous that I might be pregnant



Recommended Posts

How soon can you take a pregnancy test? The bf and I had a little *accident* a week and a half ago. My ovulation day was the 22nd. I know you're supposed to wait until you've missed a period, but I'm a freaking nervous wreck here. What's the earliest? Not sure if I've had symptoms or not, it's so hard to tell after the surgery. If something makes you nauseous that's normal lol.

Most OTC tests will be positive about the time you're due to start your period. If you look you may be able to find one that picks up earlier...first response says they work up to 6 days before a missed period....

I think you're safe. A week and a half ago would have been the 16th or 17th? Your fertile days are approx 3 days before - 3 days after you ovulate. How did you determine your ovulation date? It should be 14 days after the onset of your last period ( if you're normal, which I am not) HTH.

I have a period tracker on my phone. According to that my fertile days were the 17th-21st and the 23rd-27th, and my ovulation day was the 22nd. I'm on Nuva ring but I had tried the 4 week method where you leave it in and go directly to a new ring without a period. That didn't work well and I had breakthrough bleeding every single day for 3 weeks. So I took the ring out 3-4 days ahead of time and gave my body a week and a half to 'reset'. I put the new ring in on the 19th, but my bf got a little carried away on the 18th. Seeing as how the ring had been out for a week and a half and the new one probably took another 7 days to be fully effective, I don't think I was protected at that point.

The thing is, I don't know that the ovulation date and fertile dates in my tracker are correct this month because of the issue with the ring. Even so, I know I'm supposedly super fertile and it probably doesn't matter WHEN my fertile days are. They're all fertile days.

Oh lord, what a mess....call your gyn but if there's any chance you're pregnant they'll likely want you off birth control immediately due to risk of complications to the pregnancy. Good luck!!!!

I agree with soccermama. Better to find out for sure to be on the safe side. Just worrying can make you crazy!

I know, I'm a big mess right now! Tonight I bought a 3-pack and took one. It was negative. I know it's too early to know its accurate but it'll ease my mind temporarily. I'll take another one closer to my period time.

Pee on the stick. First Response Early Result is the best preg. test out there. Buy only pink dye as blue dye tests are known to be very deceiving. Have digital preggo tests handy, as well. I dealt with infertility for a very long time - I am schooled to the bone in peeing on sticks and which kind. Sad, I know! Hahaha

This morning I woke up with some light spotting. Nervous again because I haven't had spotting in between periods since my first month on the ring. Taking another test sometime this weekend.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
