My husband and i had........?

Question

unprotected s e x sunday morning, i have a humungous feeling that he didn't pull out on time. If i took an over the counter pregnancy test would it be able to read accuratly even if it is barely 72 hrs from when we had unprotected sex or do i have to wait until i miss my period?

We usually don't have unprotected sex, but we had ran out of condoms and we both had an urge.

I am worried because we both work and we both go to college, i wanted to finish school before i had a baby, but i guess i have to quit school now. :(

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Answer 1

You'll have to wait until you miss your period because if you take the test too early, it will be negative no matter what.

And BTW, you do not have to quit school! I got pregnant during my last year of college and went on to graduate. I was 5 months along when I got my diploma. Having a baby isn't the end of the world.

Answer 2

If you didn't already know this, and I'm assuming you didn't...Pulling out does nothing. A guy has a little semen come out of him even before he gets off, and all it takes to get pregnant is one little drop. Why don't you try going on the pill? It's only 30$ a month and it works. It's worth the money, stressing over an unknown pregnancy isn't.

You need to wait till your next period. Usually with most women before their period they'll have some extra cramping and spotting. It can be anywhere from a day before to 5 days before your next period. If you notice this, chances are you are pregnant. Also every woman has a time table. There are 3 sessions each consisting of 11 days. So you can have sex 11 days from the first day of your last period, the 11 days after that you should wear protection as this is when the egg starts to become fertile, and 11 days after that you can have sex but it's risky. So you have to figure out which 11 days you were just in.

Don't stress over it though. You can actually give yourself symptoms and trick your body into thinking you're pregnant when you're not. You'll get the morning sickness, you'll miss your period(s), and whatever else that comes along with being pregnant, minus the baby. There are blood tests that can be done earlier than urine tests. Go to the hospital if you feel up to it and ask for one.

As for your college, you don't have to quit. There are programs you can do from home and you still get a degree for them, you should look into it. Or if and when you do get pregnant I'm sure you can work out a schedule so it can be comfortable with you.

I don't know about the latest tests, like how accurate they are as far as being this close, I don't think your hormones levels would be high enough at this point though. Buy a double test and take one a few days before your due to get your period and then another one after you miss it. You could find out from your Dr. how early you could go in for a blood test.
Also, you do not have to quit school, pregnancy is not a disease, you need to finish school now more then ever if you have a child. You can go as long as you are able when you are pregnant and there are so many schools that offer on line classes and those are easier to do with an infant that sleeps then an toddler. Plus keep taking one class here or there or go nights while your husband works. It might be tough at first but it will pay off in the end and you can never get back those early years with you baby, so relax take a breath and if you are not pregnant, now might be the time to devise a future "plan" in the event that you do get pregnant.

Answer 4

Holy hell child. Calm down. If you cant come to terms with the fact that sex will at some point lead to the creation of a child then you and your husband should just avoid it.

That said, chances are you're not pregnant if this is the first time its happened. BUt then again you could be.

You need to be late for your period before you can take a test. The new ones say you can test 4 days before your missed period, but the reading is only 60% accurate.

You dont have to quit school because you're pregnant. Thats the most rediculous thing I have ever heard in my life. If you're pregnant now you can still finish out this year before the baby is born, and find a sitter to watch the baby for next year. Or take online courses. Or dear God, even put your college career on hold until the child is old enough to go to preschool, *gasp*.

The pull out meathod isnt fail proof. He has pleanty of swimmers in his precum that can get you just as pregnant as his ejaculation.

Calm down, wait a couple weeks, and take a test.

Answer 5

nothing you can do right now.

just wait till time for your period, you are probably just worrying over nothing, there is only a 20% chance of becoming pregnant each month. figure out your cycle and find out if you were likely to be ovulating on sunday. 2 weeks after your last period.

you dont "have" to quit school if you are pregnant. if you are, then you'll probably have it at the end of summer, so you could just take the fall semenster off and go back for the spring. as a student i'm sure you could get help for childcare.

Answer 6

Usually tests say they can be read 5 days before the missed period. First response tests can and that is what I used. The closer to your period you test the better. No you don't have to quit school either. I had my daughter at 17. I graduated high school with honors and I have 2 college digrees. That should be the least of your worries anyways. You can finish college anytime.

Answer 7

you can try an early pregnancy test, they are usually reliable 5 days before your period is due. But I would really wait until you don't start your period until you should worry! On another note, you realize that pulling out is a horrible way of birth control! If you don't want kids right now or at all, be more careful! :)

Answer 8

Even tough you get pregnant, still continue school. Don't drop out, you will regret it later.
My good friend got pregnant during college, and married before the baby comes. Don't study what ppl have to say if you get prego, it all nature.....taking it's course.

If you want to take a test wait 2 week or call the doctor and get more info.

Answer 9

A pregnancy test wont be valid only 72hrs after conception. There are "early" detection pregnancy tests that cant detect the pregnancy hormone a couple days before your period. It depends entirely on where you are in your menstrual cycle on weather him not pulling out will be a problem. You are most fertile in the middle of your cycle, around 14 days after your last period. Good luck.

Answer 10

there are some tests that you can use 7-10 days after conception
you usaly have to wait that long even for a blood test cause the egg take 8-12 days to start realesing the hormone

and you have exactly the same percentage of falling pregnant from pre come it exactly the same stuff
