I need advice from you poeple out there ... can you help me plzzz ?

I need to STOP worrying and thinking !

I had unprotected sex on 13th September and he used the withdraw method.I'm afraid i could be pregnant !

The first day of my last period is 1st September. My period cycle is 28 days.My period is due on 28 - 29 September.

If i make a " blood test" today (22 Sept) will it show whether i'm pregnant or not?????

I'm stressed out ! i can't wait till my next period is due. Waiting is killing me.

PLEASE ADVICE....

Will a blood test now (22 Sept which is one week before my period is due) show whether there is pregnany or not??????

What's the "minimum number of days after intercourse" that a blood test can show there is pregnancy or not?

I'm in total panic and stressed out !!

Thanks for all those who read my post. i hope i get advice ASAP !!!

Hi! O.K. You can take a blood test 10-11 days after ovulation. Many doctors will want to wait longer. Implantation takes 7-10 days after the sperm meets the egg, so even if you ovulate on monday, you may not actually "conceive" till wednesday. So blood work won't show any HCG levels until the following Sat. Get it? So anywhere from 8-14 days after ovulation, you could possibly get a positive blood result. Good Luck!!!!
