period 2 times a month, am i pregnant?

Question

Stopped taking birth control in january. Period is a week late this month. Pregnancy test said negative two times. When do I need to take another.

Answer 1

NO: The fact that you had your period means that you are not pregnant. You may have had an episode of break through bleeding in addition to your period. If you miss your period then take a home pregnancy test.

Answer 2

Unlikely: You may well have been pregnant and had a very early miscarriage. My suggestion would be to call your obgyn and have him/her order a blood-based, or serum, pregnancy test. It will confirm whether you are pregnant or not, but won't necessarily confirm whether the pregnancy is healthy until you do a second such test and see an appropriate rise in hcg, the hormone that is measured in these tests.

Answer 3

Pregnancy ?: EPT testing is not accurate if one's menses are only a few days "late". If your period does not occur in the next week or so, obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.

Answer 4

Blood test for HCG: Unless you have already had a period, it would be useful to get a blood test for HCG level to settle the issue. 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. Get HPV vaccine

Answer 5

Maybe: If you continue to be "late" then you need to take a upt and avoid alchol until you know for sure. It could be other stuff, but first things first is to rule in/out pregnancy.

Answer 6

Test to find out: A urine pregnancy test will probably answer your question.

Answer 7

Pregnancy test?: If your period is late and you are sexually active then you might be pregnant. A pregnancy test is available over-the-counter and is a reliable way to identify if you are currently pregnant or not. These are very sensitive tests and can usually detect pregnancy early in the course.

Answer 8

You tell us: I am sorry but you failed to share with us any menstrual, sexual, or ovulatory history. You have shared nothing about your personal situation. If you think you could be pregnant then please go get a pregnancy test.

Answer 9

Best done: Home pregnancy tests are best done around the time when the expected period would be. They accuracy of they test goes up the further away from this date, so it may be prudent to repeat a hpt in a week if it is negative initially.

Answer 10

More information: I suspect you forgot to include more information before hitting the send button. I can tell you that if you are sexually active, fertile, and have recently been active with a fertile man then, there certainly exists the possibility of being pregnant.

Answer 11

Umm??!!: Please give more information: how old are you? When was your last menstrual period? How many days are you late on your period? Are you sexually active with no contraceptive methods? Are you having symptoms like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, not feeling your normal self?

Answer 12

I don't know.: Pregnancy ? If you have been sexually active and have missed your period then you can go ahead and take a home pregnancy test (HPT) now. If negative and still no period would repeat HPT in a week. Take care.

Answer 13

See an OB: If you feel you are pregnant than i would recommend seeing your OB for a blood pregnancy test which is more sensitive. Good luck!

Answer 14

Do a HPT: Home pregnancy tests are easy to do, fast, and highly accurate. They typically able to detect a pregnancy after missing your period--after 2 wks. So, if seeing your doc/ob is not of great convenience, a hpt is quite reasonable. If negative, repeat in 3-5 days. If still neg, likely it is neg. If you are trying, make sure u eat healthy, exercise regularly, and take your prenatals .Good luck.

Answer 15

Check: Check a urine pregnancy test... Avoid the worry by getting on birth control. Most ob/gyn offices offer free pregnancy testing, counseling, and programs that cover birth control. In california, we have family pact, planned parenthood, & many free county clinics which provide services. Dollar store tests are even cheaper & reliable if positive. Take care.

Hard to guess!: For fertile women who are having sex... 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 accurate result. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), 1 week after missing a period, or 1 week after starting a "weird" period.

Keep healthy !: Keep healthy by not smoking or drinking. Exercise moderately and eat a healthy balanced diet. Don't take any medications without checking with your physician first. Do take your pre-natal vitamins and get good sleep. Most of all enjoy the pregnancy. Good luck and congratulations.

Answer 47

Ok. Sounds good.: Congratulations (if you love cute little babies)! A newly pregnant woman can make an appointment to be checked at her doctor's office. If there is a medical issue or problem, she and her doctor can arrange for proper follow-up then. Otherwise, a cute little one is on the way. Do remember that miscarriages are a normal part of life, so some pregnancies will not survive the first three months.

Some thoughts...: One's primary care doctor can check out unusual vaginal discharge, rash, or itching. The doctor can check for a urine infection if there are any urinary symptoms. Sometimes vaginal discharges are related to overgrowth of non-dangerous bacteria, but other times they are related to sexually-transmitted infectious microbes that need treatment. A pregnancy test can be done, if needed.
