    WHere was you when he was having unprotected sex on your ovulation day?


    All jokes aside... first how do you know you ovulated that day? Were you keeping a Basal Temprature chart? Or using one of those worthless apps people waste money on?

    Odds are its still too early to take a HPT and get reliable results... I'd wait another couple weeks then take one if your period doesn't come before then.

    3 or 4 weeks after you think it happened... reason being the closer to 4 weeks you get the lower the odds of a false negative.

    A positive is quite accurate at any time however.

    Just worrying about it is enough to delay your period. There are actually a lot of things that can delay it... any illnesses or stresses can delay it.

    Actually you do very well with your English for it not being a first language... I mean it.

    Yes its possible that could do it too... as the first few months you are off it your cycle might be disrupted.

    Thanks I'm actually Afrikaans...

    Okay so what do you insist,get a pregnancy test done?see a doctor?or just wait a while?

    I'd wait a few weeks... do a home pregnancy test you buy at the drug store, Pharmacy or Chemist depending on your English dialect you learned. You do it when you first wake up in the morning the first time you urinate.

    At a month... you can be sure the test result is accurate if you test negative. Positive results earlier are also accurate. You can also get tested at a Doctor.

    If you are more than a couple weeks late... then you can see a Doctor to find out why to satisfy your nervousness.
