QuestionI am 30 years old. I had my last period December 29, I have active contact till January 15. Until now (Feb 08) i havent have my period. I had experience the usual symptoms of menstruation like cramp,moody,breast tenderness etc since 1st week of February until now. But still I dont have period. Am I pregnant?
AnswerIf your last period started on December 29, you would have ovulated around January 11 and could have conceived if you had unprotected sex on January 10,11,12, or 13. If you did becojme pregnant on one of those days, a pregnancy test would not show a positive result until 14-21 days later. The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your period. You were due for your period on January 25. Therefore, a pregnancy test would be accurate any time after February 1. I would suggest that you take a pregnancy test now. In addition, if you are, indeed, pregnant, you would now be 6 weeks pregnant (from the first day of your last period) and a sonogram should show a fetus and a fetal heartbeat by this time. Discuss it with your gynecologist. Good Luck.
