OK my boyfriend and I had sex a week before my period was due. He pulled out. Now my period is 11 days late. I've had cramping, nausea, aching breast, but there not sore to touch, and I had some pains shoot through my hips. I've taken a pregnance test and it says negative. Could I still be pregnant.

[JudyKayTee]

Yes, you could be pregnant, depending on which test you took.

"Pulling out" is not an effective means of birth control, of course.

I took a walmart brand test

Give it another few days, and if still no period, try another test. Be sure you follow the directions exactly, especially in regard to when to read the results.

If you continue to have other possible symptoms, you can always go to your doctor for a blood test as well.

[hoosiergirl101]

OK thanks for the help its been like 3 days since I took the test.

[Fr_Chuck]

Yes, as noted, some tests are better at early readings, next as noted I am sure you know that pulling out is not a birth control method, there are plenty of sperm in the early fluids, pulling out merely reduces the chance.

Let us know when you take another test

[hoosiergirl101]

You I knew that. Well its been almost three weeks since the sex. If I am pregnant would I feel any different than I normally do. Would it matter that I've only got one ovary. Would it be harder for me to get pregnant with one ovary or would it be the same as having both ovearies.

[DoulaLC]

For most women, a single ovary doesn't make much difference in their fertility. Instead of basically taking turns at releasing an egg every other cycle, the ovary will do so each cycle.

Some women will feel symptoms of pregnancy very early on, even before they have missed a period. Others won't experience much for several weeks, and some pass off possible symptoms for other causes because the symptoms just aren't strong enough to be obvious. Pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms can be very similar for many women as well.

I was told it would be harder for me to conceive because my one ovary. I started feeling nausea like a week and half later and I've had a lot more discharge than I normally do. I've had some cramping but it only lasted like a couple minutes for like 2 or 3 days straight and now I get it every once in a while off and on. My periods used to be irregular but they started coming regular like 3 months ago. I also get these little aches and pains shoot through my lower abdomen.

[JudyKayTee]

Who told you that having a single ovary would make it more difficult to conceive? A Physician?

[hoosiergirl101]

My mom and aunt

[JudyKayTee]

Well, I'd rely on what a Physician or expert says. I believe the remaining ovary takes over the function of the "lost" ovary and that is what I find when I research the subject.

[hoosiergirl101]

You I haven't asked my doctor about it
