What is happening?

Question

My wife had her last period on oct. 13th. She is on a 33 day cycle so her next period would have been on nov 15th. I work irregular hours so we only had sex twice this month on the 20th and 28th. of oct I wore a condom both times, and I'm almost positive that it didn't break She took a home pregnancy test (E.P.T. to be specific) on the 1st, 3rd and 5th days of her missed period. (Negative) In september she recently went back to work after taking the summer off. (She works in a day care with all women about 30 hrs a week.) Her sister was having some health problems recently but if it did effect her, then she did a really good job of hiding it. However she had been stressing out about missing her cycle. Mostly my fault. She ovulated normally this month and was getting all the signs of her period comming (PMS, side hurting, ect) and right when she was supposes to be due for her period she started cramping (which she still does from time to time) What are the chances that she is pregnant?

Answer 1

Currently available home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough to detect pregnancy befor a cycle is missed and are sensitive enough to detect a tubal pregnancy. Repeat the test - if it is negative she is not pregnant. Irregular menses are extremely common and in the absence of symptoms and pregnancy does not warrant concern.

Answer 2

You may want to try having a blood pregnancy test done. It similar to the urine tests, it test for the same hormone and If I'm not mistaking, it's 97-99% effective.

The best way is to have your wife go see her doctor & get some blood-work done. This is the best test available & also see what else is going on with her. :)
