How can I tell if i'm pregnant?

Question

well, its hard for me to fallow the "see if u miss ur peroid" answers, because I havent had mine in 6 months.
I had unprotected sex 3 times this past week and i want to know if i'm pregnant.
What are the best kinds of take home tests that are REALLY accurate?

Answer 1

none that would read that fast. you need to go see your doctor about why you havent had your period thats a sign of a serious medical problem

Answer 2

First, you absolutely can ovulate without getting a period. So unprotected sex for you puts you at a chance for pregnancy, just like anyone else.

Second, it's way to soon to test. Because your cycle is highly irregular, the best thing for you would be to wait 3 weeks from the last date you had sex. If fertility took place, this would give enough time for fertilization, implantation, and hCG levels to build. After the 3-week mark, I would use First Response to test. I've never gotten a false reading from it and the results are EASY to read.

Lastly...you would have had to be ovulating at the time in order to get pregnant. It's hard to say if you even were because of your situation. There's a good chance it didn't happen. Couples who are trying to conceive only have a 25% chance every month of getting pregnant. So in your case, it's probably lower. However, stranger things have happened :)

Even though this wasn't your question, I'd like to suggest that you go to the doctor to find out why you're not getting your periods (unless you already know the reason why). Experts say that every woman should bleed at least a few times a year to keep the uterus healthy, so if it's been a while for you they can give you meds to make you get a period. It would also be a good opportunity to take tests and find out about your periods (if you haven't done so already).

Good luck!

Answer 3

Ok. First off, there isn't a home pregnancy test that will give you accurate results in the first week, or even 2 -3 weeks. If you were really scared you needed to get that day after pill, and most of all you should be thinking before you have sex about the consequences. Hate to sound like a parent here, but come on, use your head. You have sex, you can get pregnant. Second, if you're not having a period, you should see a doctor cause that could be a sign of a serious medical problem. Sounds to me like you take too many things way too lightly.

Answer 4

I think one needs to wait about 2 weeks to take pregnency test after having sex. In normal situation you can take test on the very ist day of your missed period and that will be accurate. But your situation is different,I think so best thing for you is to go to dr and have a complete check up, as I don't think its normal to not have periods for 6 months.

Answer 5

try Frist response pregnancy test or clear blue.
but they wont work that fast because its too early to find out.
anyways go to the doctor because you most be having some
problem not to see you period for 6 month. ok

Answer 6

i was on birth control pills and i had my period for the first 5 months of my pregnancy and every urine test i took came out negative it wasnt until i took a blood test that i found out i was pregnant..so here is a list of the top 10 earliest signs of pregnancy!!

10. Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

9. Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep.

8. Implantation bleeding
Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception (close to the time you might notice a missed period). The bleeding may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of your uterus — a process that starts just six days after fertilization — but no one knows for sure.

The bleeding is very light (appearing as red spotting or pink or reddish-brown staining) and lasts only a day or two. (Let your practitioner know if you notice any bleeding or spotting, particularly if it's accompanied by pain, since this can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy.)

7. Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

6. Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

5. Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

4. Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

3. A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

2. Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant.

1. The proof: A positive home pregnancy test
In spite of what you might read on the box, many home pregnancy tests are not sensitive enough to detect most pregnancies until about a week after a missed period. So if you decide to take one earlier than that and get a negative result, try again in a few days.

Once you've gotten a positive result, make an appointment with your practitioner.

Answer 7

You need to go get checked out and find out why you havent had a period in six months but any pregnancy test will do.

Answer 8

its only been a week since u had sex, its too soon to tell.

first response is good. don't waste money for nothing, wait till u start having symptoms before u get tested at least.

Answer 9

None are going to work this early. You need to wait a couple of weeks then test.

Answer 10

Most tests these days are 99% accurate. They say it on the box....or just go to your doctor....
