    You missed you period, and had sex again with no protection.[pull-out - means the same N.P.] You could be pregnant!If you already took a home pregnancy test and it came out negative. You could wait 1 week and re-take a home pregnancy test or consult your O.B. GYN. Which He/She will do another pregnancy test in their office. And if it still come out negative. They will refer you to a clinical laboratory to run some blood work. The good thing about a blood test is, they are able to tell you as soon as two weeks after intercourse if you are pregnant or not. Due to the increase of your hormone and blood cell count in your body.

    Stress could cause some of you symptoms. Stress could also change your menstrual cycle by a few days or weeks.

    Nevertheless; NO MATTER WHAT THE SYMPTOMS AND OR OUT COME IS. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR! GOOD LUCK AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF.

    Thats how I felt before I found out I was pregnant. I had menstrual cramps but they were different - shorter, and not all the time. I also had all of the other PMS symptoms so take a test ASAP.

    usually, they say that 5 days after a missed period is the time when your hormones will register on a pregnancy test, but if you want to use one of the early detection ones, do it first thing in the morning so that the urine has been sitting in your bladder a few hours to collect the pregnancy hormone if it is present. You're less likely to get a false negative. If you continue to not have a period and the tests say negative, see your doctor.

    some over the counter tests can be taken as soon as the first day of a missed period. So if you were expecting your period around 3/23, now is a good time to take the test.

    If you only had sex on the 19th and should have started your period on the 23rd it would be unlikely, but not totally impossible, for you to be pregnant.

    Go ahead and take the test. If you are almost a week late you should get an accurate result.

    Good luck.

    3 days after you found out u missed your period

    3 days after you've missed your period. The HCG hormone should be in your system in a large enough quantity at this point to tell if you are pregnant or not.

    The best thing to do is get a home pregnancy test. Honestly your body can do some crazy stuff when you are stressed out. You will drive yourself crazy until you know. Trust me!!

    Now would be a good idea.

    But I would also suggest getting a test for STD's and AIDS.

    Pregnancy isn't the only thing that should worry you.
