    Yes, you could be pregnant. You will need to wait until your next period would be due and test if necessary. There are no times in your cycle that are 100% safe, only some that are less likely or more likely to result in pregnancy, so keep that in mind. Even birth control is not 100% effective... something to consider if you decide to continue having sex.

    Don't they teach you anything in your high school? ANY time you have penile insertion you risk a pregnancy. There are factors that can limit the risk, but not eliminate it. So yes you could be pregnant. But the only way to tell is taking an HPT according to the instructions. But even an HPT can give a false reading, so the surest way to know is to see your doctor.

    Yes of course there is a chance, the play on timing this day or that day is not exact, and sex any day of the month even on period can make you pregnant.. so you have to wait till next month to see if you miss that period or not

    I took a HPT and it came back positive then took another two in the same week.
    When they came back positive I freaked.. I went straight to the doctors and had a blood test and it came back negative.
    The best thing to do is to go get a blood test because HPT aren't correct most the time:/

    That's news to manufacturers. According to them, an HPT, when taken properly, has over 90% accuracy. HPTs are not new technology.

    Yes, after taking an HPT, one should immediately make an appt with their doctor to confirm and find out how far along, etc.

    Maybe you did, maybe you didn't. But your statement that that don't work most of the time does not jive with scientific testing. Maybe you got a bad batch or other factors in your body makeup make you fall into those it won't work for. But the fact remains that they are accurate about 90% of the time when used properly.
