May be pregnant

    I'm 5 days late. I did some pound shop pregnancy tests two days late as apparently they can just as reliable as the most expensive. They were negative. It doesn't help that it hasn't came on yet and it's possible to get negatives.

    I'm being paranoid as I'm seeing a guy and pregnancy is a possible option but I was a week late last year and I wasn't seeing anyone. The last time we did it, he stuck it in, didn't come inside, pulled out and put on a condom. Is it possible for anything to happen from something like this?

    What do I do if I am pregnant? I'm not in a position to have a baby.

    Is is possible that you are pregnant? Yes. Probable? No.

    There are a number of reasons why you might be late, not least the stress of worrying over whether you're pregnant or not. That being said, the only way to know for sure is to pay a visit to your doctor and get them to do a pregnancy test for you, if for no other reason than to put your mind at rest.

    Should everything work out okay, please use this as a lesson to use proper contraception in future.

    Hopefully you're not pregnant. If you get away with it this time take it as a lesson learnt and take precautions. There are lots of choices available to you so don't get caught out. .

    Any doctor will tell you that their tests aren't as accurate as the store-bought ones.

    OP, if in doubt, do another test (perhaps from the chemist if you don't trust the pound shop one you already took) and really, there's your answer. No-one on here can tell you whether you're pregnant or not.

    First Response are probably the most sensitive test on the market, so if you're 5 days late you'd more than likely get a positive on one of those if you are pregnant. You'd be unlucky to get pregnant from him literally just putting it in and then taking it back out again, but it's not impossible. However, it's more likely that the worry over a possible pregnancy is what's making your period late.

    Thanks, I'm trying to hold out a full week before trying a more expensive test like first response. If I'm pregnant, it would have to show up by then. I think I'm more paranoid because I'm sleeping with someone. Trying not to worry because there isn't a whole lot I can do at this time.

    Stress can also impact on why you might be late. You can also get the electronic clear blue tests for around €20 which can detect early pregnancy.


    It's unlikely you are pregnant OP but there is always a chance so make sure to use condoms at minimum if you're not on any other form of birth control to be safe.
