A member asked:

I am 18 years old and i have recently started being sexually active. i had sex five days after my ovulation but experienced spotting for 5-6 days. i havent seen my period and i have been stressing so much. is it possible for me to be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sex causes pregnancy: It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A home urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. For a teen, her pediatrician or an Ob-Gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.
