Period and pregnancy

Unread post by Camille54 »

Hello! Good day.
I have a question about period and pregnancy:
For example a woman had intercourse a few days after her fertile window, and then after a week and a few days, got her menstruation. Is it a sign that a woman is not pregnant since she got her 5-6 day menstruation the same month she had intercourse?

A period is a sign that pregnnacy didn't happen.

That said, if someone is in doubt or thinks that pregnancy is a possibility, getting a pregnnacy test is the way to go. :)

Thank you for your reply! :)
However, I have another concern:
She took a home pregnancy test a few hours before she had her period and it was negative. She took 1 more a day after her period and was also negative. After 5 days of her period, she took another test and was also negative. Does this confirm that the woman is not pregnant?

We will not answer ANY questions about pregnancy fear or anxiety in our direct services from users who are not pregnant or who are not or have not otherwise been directly involved with an actual pregnancy.

Please do not post this kind of question. If you are seeing this text, and your thread is locked, it is because you have posted this kind of question.

We CAN and WILL talk about things like:
• choosing and using a method or methods of contraception for any future sexual activity
• creating your own sexual limits and boundaries based on your needs and/or presenting them to any partners
• making sexual choices that suit your own needs, abilities and limitations, including your own readiness for certain possible risks
• help locating or using emergency contraception if and when you have had a pregnancy risk
• discussing options with a real, existing pregnancy, and help finding and accessing those options, such as abortion services and pre-natal care, or discussing feelings or concerns about a past pregnancy
• help with anxiety like locating mental health services, sound self-help or asking for support from friends or family

For help dealing with a scare (including what poses a risk and your next steps based on your unique situation), you may use our tool on site built for this purpose: The Pregnancy Panic Companion.
