Accepted Answer

Home pregnancy test: If you are worried about pregnancy, check a home pregnancy test. Speak with your doctor regarding any concerns regarding pregnancy tests or menstrual irregularities. You can also discuss about other birth control methods in addition to condoms. Good luck to you!

Question 4

had unprotected sex but what appeared to be a period days later implantation bleeding or period? period was not normal, i don't know what to do

Accepted Answer

See Gynecologist: Although you could try a pregnancy test, it is sometimes not sensitive until after you miss your first period. A test exists to measure the exact amount of HCG in the blood stream and may be a more accurate test in an early pregnancy to determine if you are or aren't pregnant. The alternative is to wait for a month and see if your period happens normally.

Question 5

is it implantation bleeding or period ? what color how & long does implantation bleeding last? if it is implantation bleeding, when can i do a hpt?

Accepted Answer

Spotting; 10 days : Implantation bleeding is more of spotting rather than frank bleeding. You may do hpt about 10-14 days after that, though it would be better to wait 4-5 days after missed period to do the hpt, use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the kit carefully.

if you are serious about not getting pregnant and sexually active.I will suggest you go on birth control pills or an iud.Discuss with your gynecologist if you like.

Question 7

i had sex feb 17 2015 with no protection.i think i am preganant. i don't know if i have an implantation bleeding or period.i took a test and came out negative later on the week positive. how do i know i am or not .?):

Accepted Answer

Test again next week: If a home pregnancy test is positive in 1 more week, congratulations (if you like cute little babies)! That means a little baby is on the way. However, miscarriages are a normal part of life, so some pregnancies will not survive to term. If next week's test is positive, one can make a routine appointment with her Ob-Gyn doctor for more instructions.

Accepted Answer

: Do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless she gets a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. Wish you good health!
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. Consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine,
