Like my previous question, I had unprotected sex on the 7th of october and I got my period on the 13th. My period only lasted for 2 days. Can I be pregnant, if so when should I take a test?

If your having unsafe sex there is always a chance of being pregnant. If this is what you want Good luck to you!!!

Yes you can still be pregnant. In some small amount of cases women who are pregnant can have their period for a few months. It is a scary thing to not know. I think the best time to take a test would be around your next period date. For example, if you are a day or two late then you should take it then. If you worried, and not ready to be pregnant you should get a support group if you find out you are. A friend, family member or even an outside source this way you can have help for the decisions you will have to make.

Yes you can be pregnant.The most accurate way to test for pregnancy is to wait until after your period is due. All pregnancy tests on the market will pick show a positive result, a higher percentage of the time, if you wait until this point.
The sensitivity of the pregnancy tests on the market today vary greatly. The more sensitive the test, the greater the chance it will pick up your pregnancy before your period is due. The lower the level of hcg picked up means the test is more sensitive. For example ( from our pregnancy test comparison page ) an Aimstick pregnancy test will detect 20 mIU of HCG where as a Fact Plus Pregnancy Test will detect pregnancy at 150-250 mIU. This means the Aimstick brand will give you a positive result much sooner than the Fact Plus.
A test with the sensitivity of 20 mIU can pick up a pregnancy at 6-8 days past ovulation but the percentage of women who get a positive this early is relatively low. A much higher percent of women get a positive result at 9 or 10 days past ovulation

You are probably not pregnant...but like everyone else will tell you, stop having unprotected sex if you are worried about getting pregnant...IF you want to get pregnant, keep trying and good luck!

you can most certainly be pregnant. Take the test today. Also contact your gyno about blood work to verify this.

anytime you have sex you are risking pregnancy...take a test when you period is late and see...if not go to the Dr and get your blood drawn...
