My period was on july 10th .... I had sex on july 21st - 25th and then I had sex again on the 29th and the 31st ... And I had sex again yesterday... Which in all he came in me ... And i'm suppose to start on my period august 8th ... Is it mostly like that I can be pregnant by now? Or can I take the test today? Because I want to find out a/s/a/p because there's going to be a party and theres going to be alot of drinking and I don't want a chance of drinking if I might be possibly pregnant ...

It is most likely to be pregnant as the fertile days are 3-4 days before ovulation and 1-2 days afterwards; and the ovulation happens in the 14th day, considering the first day of period day number one. But for this you must have a 28 day regular menstrual cycle. If your menstrual cycle is of 29 days, than ovulation happens in day 15, and so on. But if your period is not regulated, than it is a little bit more complicated.

So, considering your period 28 days (from 10th to the 8th ), july 10th was day nr one and your fertile period was between 19th and 25th, when you had sex. You must take into account that this is no 100% sure, but there is a high chance for you to be pregnant. So I suggest you take a pregnancy test-it will only take a few minutes and afterwards you can party... :wink:

The pregnancy test establishes if there is a certain hormone in blood or urine-hcg or the pregnancy hormone. As far as I know, home pregnancy tests (hpt) vary regarding the period of time necessary to pass before taking it.

"urine tests can determine pregnancy about 2 weeks after ovulation. Some more sensitive urine tests can tell if you are pregnant as early as 6 days after you conceive, or one day after you miss a menstrual period."

i am sorry, but I can't tell you a certain product...I'm not from around... :)so you should ask the pharmacist which hpt is best for you...They know what products they have. Have confidence. They should also be able to recommend something taking into account how much money you want to spend. I usually trust products that are more expensive, but I can tell you that medicine is very carefully tested and there is no room for mistakes...So I would trust even the cheapest hpt.

Good luck...And maybe you'll let us know how it turned out... :d

I would think if u took a pregnancy test now that it will probily come up negitive you could buy 2 or get a pregnancy test that has a couple in it and try to take one now and see.Then try to take one a day after your period supposed to be here then it should show up. Or call your doctor to get a blood test done I heard them show up early.

Most of the test take 3 or more weeks after conception. Around a week after missed period. There is a couple that work sometimes as early as 4 days be4 missed period, chances very high for a "false negative". So to say I take pregnancy test if neg I party is very inaccurate at this point. At least one week after missed period then chances are high for correct results. All women are different, and levels change differently in all women. If you think you are pregnant you should wait to find out for alchoholic beverages are very dangerous for baby, and street drugs too!!

I dont know what kinda party you talk about.

You could go to emergency room within 2 weeks a blood hcg test will show right away. That may ease your mind.

Chances are high for pregnancy though, since you had sex right around ovulation time.
