First, calm down!

What kind of birth control are you using? You say "unprotected", but a lot of people often mean on the pill & no condom when they say that. If you were truly unprotected (no hormones & no barriers), I still don't think it is likely you are pregnant if you had a period since your last act of intercourse.

If you aren't on hormonal birth control, I don't really think 7 days is all that late. Remember, 28 days is *average*, not the cycle every woman will have. I realize that some women are like clockwork, even off the pill, but I've never experienced that, so varying cycle lengths are normal to me!!!

Calm down, take a deep breath! Since it has been more than two weeks since you last had sex, a home pregnancy test would likely be accurate if you want the peace of mind. I really think you aren't likely pregnant since you've had a period since you last had sex, but if you want to know for sure, go pee on a stick!

Good Luck, let us know what happens!

No I'm not on B/C basically due to the fact that I'm on siezure meds which decrease the effects of the pill extreamly.....I'm usually like clockwork and a friend of mine who had a child said that you can have your period and still be pregnant.....and now, I'm late, this is the latest I've ever been.

I'm going to buy a test anyways I think....just for a piece of mind. I can't stop thinkin about it.

I'll post later and let you all know.......hopefully there is no baby. I can't have kids right now! I'm only 20 and I have no means of support. Well, I guess I learned my leason! :(

My understanding is that it is VERY rare to have a period during pregnancy (much more rare than the stories of someone who knows someone who did!), and that when you do it is usually a lot lighter than a normal period.

You might as well test & find out where you are, waiting won't change the results!

You should likely consider some birth control for the future - if you can't use hormonal methods, there are diaphragms, caps, condoms, spermicide, and even IUD's (if you know you don't want kids for some time). Stress like this just isn't worth it, is it?!

Good Luck.

the probability is very small if the only time you had sex last noth was right before your period for biology reasons however this is not certain (there have been a lot of babies conceived using the rythem method) what was your period like last month was it light spotting? normal?

your best bet is to test when in doubt. testing wont change the result just give you the information earlier
