Ask Me Help Desk - Pregnant or not?

Pregnant or not?

Had sex with boyfriend but use condoms every time. I started my period on the 5th of this month. It was normal. And had sex after period but used condoms.. threw up 2 mornings.. but not any other time. But only threw up after I ate. Is it possible I'm pregnant?

Took a pregnancy test and it said negative.

I need answers! Someone help.

Any time you have sex pregnancy is possible, so yes, it's possible that you're pregnant. There's no way for us to tell you if you are or aren't. You'll have to wait until your next period is due. If you miss it then try a pregnancy test. If it's negative then wait a week or two and test again. That's the only way to determine pregnancy.

I took a test and it said negative

Did you even read my question I posted. There had to be something you can tell me.

I did read your question. Did you read my response? Was it not clear enough for you?

Let me try to be clearer. Have you missed your period yet? If not, then it was too early to test, which is why the result was negative. A false negative is very common, especially if the test is taken too soon. Most women don't get a reliable test result until after their first month of pregnancy, in other words, two missed periods.

You want to know if you could be pregnant, and you could. The only way to find out if you are is to wait until you miss your period, test with first morning urine. If it's negative it could be too early to test, or you took the test incorrectly. In that case you wait another week or two and test again. If that test is negative wait until your next period. If you miss that period as well then test again or see your doctor for a more accurate blood test.

If that's not the answer you're looking for then please be specific, tell me what you're asking, because from what I read, my post answers your question.

Good luck.

Sure it's possible! Any time you have sex, it's possible.

Condoms have been used every time. And it never broke. And only threw up maybe two times in the morning.. I also have has a runny nose and a cough. Could the throwing up be from coughing too hard? I don't feel bad.. nor do I feel pregnant. When I had my daughter in 2009 I FDR's pregnant and was always tired but now I'm not. And took a test yesterday and was negative.

So let me see if I understand this now...

You asked "Is it possible I'm pregnant?" and we answered that yes, it's possible.

What you really meant was : "Please someone just tell me I'm not pregnant".

Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. We cannot tell from just reading what you have to say. Chances are that you're not... but we can't say for sure.

Okay.

Oi!

There are women on this site that used three different forms of birth control, all used correctly, and still became pregnant. I personally have a friend that has PCOD, one ovary, was on the pill, used a condom, and was told by her doctor that she'd never conceive, and she got pregnant 3 times.

In other words, it doesn't matter that you used a condom. A condom lowers the risk, it doesn't eliminate it.

As for the test you took yesterday, how many days late is your period? It's the 24 now, you said you had your period on the 5th. So you have less than a 19 day cycle? Is your period even late?

A false negative is very common, especially when you test too early.

No one is saying that you are pregnant, we can't diagnose pregnancy on the internet. We're only saying that the possibility exists. That's what you asked. You wanted to know if you could be pregnant, and the answer is, yes, you could be.

I start my period at the beginning of every month. Never missed it. Boyfriend is freaking because I have thrown up two mornings. So we took one.

Could me coughing too hard cause me to throw up?

Definitely.

I'm going through that right now. In fact, I've been sick for 10 days now, and finally went to the doctor about it. Bronchial pneumonia. I cough so hard that I can't keep anything down. I even bruised a rib from coughing. So yes, that can happen.

But we can't diagnose your cough any more than we can diagnose a pregnancy.

Fact is, pregnancy is possible. Are you pregnant? Most likely not. But that's not what you asked. You asked if it's possible, and it is.

Okay.. well I should have worded my question better. So it's not likely I'm pregnant? I know I'm asking a lot. But I'm just worried.

It's not likely, but it is possible, and therein lies the problem. We can't say "don't worry, you're not pregnant", because we can't know for sure that you're not. The possibility is there.

If I were to guess, I'd say you're not pregnant, you've got a cold, or a flu, and that's why you're throwing up. Frankly, the throwing up is not really a pregnancy symptom, it would be too soon, just like it's too soon to test.

The fact is, you did have sex, and condom or no condom, sex = pregnancy. So yes, it's possible that you are. It's unlikely, but it is possible, and that's what you asked.
