Answer
Dear Sue,

I do believe I just answered this same question - different name though, so I will make sure and and re-send the answer...

I concur with your doctor completely. If you had conceived a pregnancy on 4/24/09, you would have been almost 13 weeks along on 7/8/09. Your doctor would definitely have been able to note that with a pelvic exam. Further...you have had three periods since that encounter and have had four negative pregnancy tests. I would say you are not pregnant.

Next time, remove all of this anxiety by making sure that the sex is protected with a condom. There are many more risks than just pregnancy to have them wear one! Carry one yourself so there are no excuses and YOU are always in control. If they want to get with you bad enough they'll put it on.  ;-)

I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well and apologize for the delay in answering. I usually try to answer in 48-72 hours but have had a hectic week.
