I had figured my days of ovulation to be
March 25th-26th. On March 28th I had to
go to the doctors for a bone density scan.
They require a blood test for pregnancy
the day of the test because of radiation.
The test came back negative. I was
wondering if there is still a chance of
pregnancy this month or would the blood
test be postive that quick if I conceived
on the 25th or 26th? I have no idea.
Thanks

no, that would be too early for even a
blood test, beacuse you actually wouldn't
yet be pregnant.
your body does not make hcg (pregnancy
hormone) until the embryo implants which
is typically about 10 days after
conception.
if you knew you had to have the bone scan,
it would have been sensible to avoid
trying to get pregnant for that month.
now, the only thing you can do is wait an
see if your period turns up. If it doesn't
take a test.
if the test is positive, speak to your
doctor about the possible effects on the
fetus from the scan.
if it is negative wait a week and test
again if your period still doesn't show.
If that is also negative, then you'll need
to get checked out by your ob/gyn/doctor.
