I had my last period May 21 and have had lots of unprotected sex since then. I'm not on bcp. I took a test on Sunday and it was negative. Should I test again now or wait awhile? We weren't really trying to have another baby right now, but by not using protection, I guess we were. It'd be shocking, but I guess I would be ok with it. And btw, for my last period, I was having tons of labor like contractions for 4 days so they gave me that medicine to jump start my period. I know AF can be really irregular after having babies, so I'm just not sure when to test.
Re: when to test...
Why would it be shocking if you got pregnant if you were having LOTS of unprotected sex? I'm pretty sure that is how babies are made in the first place, I could be wrong.
To answer your question as to when to test, I would wait another 5-7 days.
You already have one child so clearly you know how the process works. You being KTFU would not be shocking in the least.
I know, I know..you just asked when you are supposed to test...find the ovulation calculator thingie and it should tell you when you are supposed to test or something. Right? I never charted. I actually forgot abotu testing.
This is a dare, right? Someone put you up to this post.
All I was asking is when to test, that is all. I know I can get pregnant, and I'm ok with getting preg. again this soon. I don't even know why I used the word shocking. I guess b/c the doctors told me I wouldn't even ever have children and I was shocked when I got preg. before, so I'd be shocked again, no matter when it is. We used condoms several times and every single time he used the pull out method, but it's still likely I could be pregnant. I didn't know there was a calulator on telling when to test, so thanks to the few people who actually answered the question I asked..
Honey, pull-n-pray isn't birth control. It's a method that lazy people use instead of condoms/pill/IUD. If it turns out you aren't pg, you need to get on bc stat, unless you're actually trying to conceive. And from the sound of things, you aren't.
To answer your question, I think you need to wait about 1 week after your missed period. Don't freak out...your last one was 5/21, it's only 6/22.
It is for a year.
And for not preventing, not trying to conceive, I like the odds. DD was conceived by pull out (we think) and I still like the odds.
I don't know the answer, but I got it when you said 'shocked'! And by the way there are lots of families who dont use cond/bc... and don't have kids coming out ever year. GL
