Is she pregnant: If you think that you are pregnant get a pregnancy test. Repeat the test a week or two later if you are trying to get pregnant and the initial test is negative. If you need help to determine when during your cycle you can get pregnant, give info on the frequency of your cycle and how you determine ovulation.

1 week after period: You are more likely to get pregnant from unprotected intercourse a week after your menstrual period ended. Ovulation is an event with a 24 hour time window for fertilization to happen - it does not span several days, what you seem to be assuming.

14 days before the: date on which your next period would have started. Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex.
