Grab a test! (For anyone wondering if they're pregnant)

Well, that’s good. At least things feel a bit more manageable now. Good luck with everything—keep us posted... best...

Is it even possible for a test (I used Intim dating) to give a wrong result a month after sex and two weeks after my period was supposed to show up? I did it using afternoon urine... We used a condom and he didn't even finish, so the test showed negative, which is exactly what I wanted... but I have no clue why my period hasn't started yet 😕

Is it possible the test gave a false negative? Maybe. But does that mean you can just ignore it? Not necessarily. If your cycles are usually regular, I’d say grab another Clearblue, use your first morning urine, and go see an OB-GYN immediately. A friend of mine deals with really long cycles; she had two or three negative tests in a row, only to find out she was actually pregnant. It happens.

My cycle is seriously like clockwork... I get my period on the exact same day every single month.
I’m gonna run another test with my first pee in the morning, because if I don't, I might actually lose my mind. 🙂

If you’re seriously this suspicious about being pregnant, just go get a beta HCG blood test. It'll cost you maybe $100--$50depending on where you go—but getting it done through blood is the way to go. It gives you the most accurate, definitive answer...

Hopefully that helps at least a little bit. 😉

The idea that you're pregnant is frankly implausible, given that there was both a condom involved and no ejaculation.
As for your missed period, I have no way of knowing; your best course of action is to schedule an appointment with a doctor.

So I took another one today, the Clearblue for $10... and yeah, still negative. I mean, hopefully they didn't screw up the first one, but my period is already two weeks late... I guess if I were actually pregnant, any test would have caught it by now.

The price tag doesn't matter here. It gave you the right answer. A test isn't going to fail you two weeks after your period was supposed to show up. Maybe it could have been off on the actual day it was due, but not now. Since you weren't looking to get pregnant anyway—congrats, and maybe be a little more careful next time...
Go see your OB-GYN. They'll likely just put you on Duphaston to get your cycle back on track.

She used a condom, anyway. It wasn't even a risky encounter.
