My ex bf and I had unprotected sex about a month or two ago. I have gotten my period for the past 2 months but neither one of them were considered to be normal. I normally bleed for 5 - 7 days and bleed really heavy to the point of going through a 48 count bag of pads. For the past 2 months now I have only bled for 2 - 3 days and have not gone through a 24 count bag of pads in the 2 month time frame. I have all the pregnancy symptoms except for the missed period. I know that u can still be pregnant and get your period. Anyways, I have taken a test that I bought from a pharmacy but it was a store brand. My period started 2 days ago and when I took the test today I was not bleeding. The result says I am not pregnant but I do not think the test was accurate. Could the fact that I had my period throw off the hormone that is used to detect a positive result? Is it possible for the test to be wrong? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I've had friends that were getting their periods until 4th moth of pregnancy, so that is possible, but I think if you were really pregnant and it's been 2 months now, the test should be positive since you would have lots of the pregnancy hormone. Those test are not 100% accurate, so your best bet would be to go to a doctor and have him give you one in the office or lab.

First of all if you're too worried about getting pregnant, use protection.
Now to give an opinion with your situation, if the test result is negative, then you are not pregnant no matter what brand the test is, they're usually accurate. And as you have mentioned, you still bleed for the past 2 months, that must be your menstrual cycle though it cuts down to 2-3 days. I had 2 kids and never during my pregnancy that I still bleed for 2-3 days. If you're pregnant you'll probably bleed for just half a day the most after around a week of missing the menstrual cycle. Wait for you next expected menstrual period, if you still get 2-3 days of bleeding, definitely you're not pregnant. Otherwise if there's totally no more blood during your expected menstruation, go see a doctor for a blood test for a much accurate result. Good luck! Use protection next time, so no more worries on your side.

My spouse hasn't had her era in 3 months, and he or she's initiating to sense flow down below and has being pregnant indications herself. She purely took her first being pregnant attempt and he or she's unfavorable. yet that would not propose she isn't pregnant. It means that the point of hormones that the tests seek for purely isn't intense adequate for them to bump into. We discern that the factor at which she would desire to'VE taken the tests replaced into the 1st 2 weeks of April--and one week after theory. (Which replaced into March 27-thirtieth.) 3 months later is somewhat a waste. So at this degree in her being pregnant--like yours--the tests is purely no longer effective. it is like an alcoholic taking a breathalyzer tests whilst he have not boozed out in week and the outcomes are unfavorable. It would not propose he's not any longer an alcoholic. It purely means he hasn't drank in awhile.

Don't take a home test that would be a waste of money.
I would say make an appointment with the doctor for a blood test because that would be the most accurate.

well if your having your period then you are definately not pregnant because that hormone was not effected by having sex. so in my opinion you are not pregnant. but if you think you are then, try looking for these symptoms. sore breasts, smelling everything, even if they're three rooms away. being moody and just look for those basic things, if they're non existant then hey your not. if you're still not sure go ask your doctor.

It's time you saw a doctor and stop trying to diagnose yourself. Many things could be going on with you body, and the longer you wait for some medical advice and treatment, the worse things could get.
