Maybe: If you have had sex without protection there is a chance you might be pregnant. Do home pregnant test on first morning urine. If negative, repeat in 7-10 days. If both negative, unlikely you are pregnant. Hope this helps. Good luck

A good question: As they say, when in doubt, do the right thing, i.e. pregnancy test, in your case.Home UPTs are pretty sensitive and can be repeated a few times over a period of couple of weeks. The blood test at your doctor's office can also confirm pregnancy if still in doubt and symptoms still suggestive. Good luck!

Pregnancy?: Possibly, but get a serum HCG test from your healthcare provider...very accurate. Be aware, if the test is negative, that stressful events may delay ovulation, and the following period is also delayed, and any bleeding may be irregular.
