there are tests to take 5 days BEFORE your missed period--but they are not always accurate until the day of your missed period. Here is some more info that might help: You generaly ovulate during the middle of your cycle (i.e if you get a regular period every 28 days, then you ovulate about day 14 counting day 1 from the first day of your missed period. ) sperm can live about 3 days so if you had sex around day 11 through day 14-then yes-it is possible.

Chances are if you had your period on the 25th and had unprotected sex on the 30th you aren't pregnant. You can only conceive like four days the entire month and for most women the peak fertile day is the fourteenth from the start of your last period. Sperm can survive for up to 72 hours after ejaculation but that still doesn't add up to the figure you are looking for. Also, it takes the average couple in their twenties about four months of constant trying to conceive. However, if you are really worried/excited you can take a early result test up to five days before your missed period. I would suggest taking First Response and get one that has more than one test in the box because if you are like most women (myself included) you like to double check! Good luck.

I know you can't take a test right now. Your menstrual should be late before you take a test. The doctor would probably be the fastest source for finding out but I am sure you don't want to go through all of that. My pregnancy did not show up until I was late and that is what most doctors tell you.

You're going to have to wait until your next period.

If it doesn't show up, take a test...if you test negative and you still don't get your period, wait a few more days to allow your hormone levels to rise, and test again.

Taking one now would be a waste of money.

If you don't want to be pregnant, then you know what to do for the rest of the month...

Patience. Patience.

It usually takes a few weeks for it to show up. Your best bet is to wait until you've miss your period. Don't stress about it either, that could cause you to miss your period, too.

I don't think you could be pregnant. When did you start your period? It takes roughly around 14 days after your last period to ovulate, releasing of your egg. It is too early to get pregnant.

you arent pregnant no need to test. you were just ending you period so theres no way you were ovulating . you test when your period is due. which you seriously need to learn about. including when you can and cant get pregnant there is no excuse for a woman not knowing hoe periods and pregnancy work

wait atleast until you miss your next period, testing too early could give you inaccurate results.
i hope you get the results you are looking for.
good luck-
