Getting pregnant is a long time paranoia/fear of mine.
I was diagnosed with a UTI last week, and wondered if they can spot pregnancy with the urine tests used to search for problems. I haven't actually had sex, but I have fooled around alot, so I'm getting really paranoid. I was on the pill for my skin, but it was making me feel crazy so after about 5 days of taking it, I stopped. I then started to bleed for about a week. This was on the 10th of August and period before that was on the 24th of July. When should I expect my next period? I think I"ve really screwed up my cycle!

Your doctor will not test you for pregnancy unless you ask them to. The tests avaliable to a doctor are generally better than most over the counter tests, and if they think they're wrong they can just do it again--they use drops instead of a large plastic and paper apparatus like the over the counter models.
As for your cycle, you're right. You have really messed with it, but not to worry, when the hormones leave your system it will return to how it was before you took the pill. You really should have called your gynocologist and explained that you weren't agreeing with the pills before you just stopped taking them. There are many different pills out there, she probably could have suggested something different. Putting your body through the mess of hormones and suddenly stopping is definantly not recomended. But that is past. Be sure to call your gynocologist and explain about the pills, and ask for alternatives or ways to make the transition easier.
As for a date for your period, there's no real way to know. Most pills are designed to start taking on the first day of your last period, so in that case it would be easy to tell you that it will be right around your normal time. Since the dates you mentioned are so odd, that won't nessicarily be true. You should be prepared for a period in your normal time frame--based on your last nonpill period--just in case, but it would not be unusual for you to not have another period until the end of September since your body is in a little bit of chaos. Stressing about being pregnant, and the stress of a UTI on your body are only going to encourage it to take longer to arrive.
If you are super concerned about it, you can get a pregnancy test done, but it won't give you any definant results. Even if you base the date on your last normal period, you are still well within the month timeframe and wouldn't be considered even late by most doctors. If October rolls around and you haven't had a period, or you start experincing other signs that would indicate pregnancy, be absolutely certain to go and see your gynocologist. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much. While it is true that it only takes a single sperm to impregnate a woman, once it is outside the body it dies within minutes if it is not introduced to a nice warm, wet environment.

A pregnancy test can be done, but it has to be requested at the time of the test. You will not be able to request a pregnancy test now that a week has passed. You can use an OTC pregnancy test, but at this point I think you would be wasting your money. The only thing you can do now is to wait a month.

I think you need to relax...take a deep breath....feel better? Now if they tested for a UTI they weren't testing for pregnancy. They only test for one thing at a time. You haven't had sex? Did fluids get inside of you? You have to have fluids get inside of you to get pregnant. you should get your period on schedule...

The presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the urine indicates pregnancy.
Please see the webpages for more details on Pregnancy test.

Yes they can, But if you haven't had sex then you can not be pregnant. If you fooled around and the guys his stuff close to your women parts down south there may be a slight chance.

thay would have to be looking specifically for the hormone indicating pregnancy- and probably werent unless you asked them to. i would just wait for another month, & if u dont get it take a test. I doubt it; getting pregnant w/ out sex is a very, very slim chance!

They can tell by your urine for pregnancy but you'd have to let them know. You should see a doctor. If you are 10 days late atleast they should be abled to tell you if you are positive.

I dont know about when you'll get your next period, but yes, if they test your urine, they will be able to see if you are pregnant or not. If you are, they will surely tell you.

yes they can test for that. but i seriously doubt you are pregnant. your period will probably start again in sept. if you really think you could be pregnant you can get the test at the store just to make sure you arent. trust me i used to be the same way
