    Pregnancy after missed period
    So I haven't had sex in about 2 months (with the exception of last friday) but my body is very sensitive to
    Stress and I recently had a friend pass away and was late on my period (which I expected) but I had unprotected sex 2 days after I was late, he pulled out, but it's been 8 days later and I still haven't started, I think I'm just stressing myself out even more because this has happened before and I always end up starting my period. I guess my question is, is it easier or more difficult to get pregnant if you have sex after you have already missed Your period?

    About the same. IT is all about getting the sperm to the egg. IF the egg has already passed. No pregnancy. If the egg has all ready been fertilized and implanted, then it won't do any harm.

    Are you wanting to get pregnant?

    You might want to wait until at least 2 weeks after your missed period. Taking the tests early tend to reduce their accuracy and more of an option for False Negatives.

    Well I took a test today and it came out negative, but if it's already been 10 days since my missed period,
    I'll just wait 4 more days till that 2 week point

    The other thing to remember is that some pregnancies don't show up on the Home Pregnancy Tests either. It's a science, but not that accurate. Everyone is different.
