Have I Experienced Cryptic Pregnancy Since Unprotected Sex?

I had unprotected sex on the 26th/27th of December 2023 and got my period that night as expected we both peed before and after the intercourse and i’ve been getting my “period regularly since and have been getting negative tests maybe 20 from the month after sex. I’m scared of cryptic pregnancy or the hook effect and not sure what to think or do.

Don't fee­l anxious if you experience­ pregnancy worries when te­sts continuously show negative. A cryptic pregnancy occurs whe­n a baby develops minus positive te­st indications. Additionally, the hook effect disrupts ce­rtain test outcomes. Regular menstruation cycle­s make cryptic pregnancy implausible. Consult a gynecologist openly about concerns for affirmation and guidance­ if anxieties persist.

I haven’t had a cycle since October 28th it’s December 1st now should I take a pregnancy test?

Female | 20

Yes, it's a good IDEA to take a PREGNANCY test now. A MISSED period could mean PREGNANCY, but other factors including stress, weight changes, or medications could also be the cause.. PREGNANCY tests detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in URINE.. It's recommended to take the test in the morning as it's when hCG levels are highest.. If the result is negative and period doesn't come within a week, consider consulting with a HEALTHCARE provider..

I am 25 years old and I have always had regular monthly periods but recently they came early like after a week. They usually come after 25 days. Should I be worried?

Female | 25

menstrual cycles do vary slightly from month to month & changes in the timing or length of periods is due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or other health conditions. There is nothing to worry about, but if you experience persistent changes in your menstrual cycle consistently early or irregular periods it's better to talk to a gynec.

I have been taking contraceptives for some time now and my last time of taking was December 15 I haven't had sex till now my menses came December n last month but was supposed to come last week but it didn't come. I checked for pregnancy n it was negative

Female | 27

Hormonal contraceptives do affect your menstrual cycle. Also if your pregnancy test is negative then the period delay can be due to stress, changes in weight, or certain medications.

I had sex on 19/5/2023 and my periods date was 20/5/2023 i.e. today But i haven't got them yet Is it possible for me to get pregnant even though we had used protection but still I'm concerned

Female | 19

The risk of pregnancy is generally low. However, variations in cycles, stress, and other factors can cause period delays. Consider emergency contraception if needed, and if your period is significantly late, take a pregnancy test.

i had sex protected one but took and ipill while I was ovulating iguess now I'm having kind off fever after that ipill I faced dry vomiting and kind of dizzy am I pregnant?

Female | 17

Contraceptive pills can produce side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. It doesn't mean that you are pregnant when you have these symptoms. You can still use a pregnancy test after a few days if you are anxious. Be sure to drink enough water and sleep well to recover your health.

I'm 19 years old I aborted pregnant 3 days ago and l had sex today, Can that lead to pregnant or not ?

Female | 19

Having sex right afte­r an abortion increases the chances of ge­tting pregnant again. Your body needs time­ to recover. Wait for a while be­fore intimacy. An abortion causes change­s needing healing. Having se­x too soon risks complications. Take a break from intimacy for now. Use contrace­ptives when resuming se­xual activity later.

I recommend that you have an appointment with a gynecologist today. The prolonged periods can become a side effect of emergency contraceptive pills, however, you should exclude any underlying medical conditions.

I AM 20 YEARS OLD I GET PREGNANT AND I HAVE 12 WEEK.PREGNANCY IN THE SCAN MY BABY HEAD SIZE SHOWING 2 CM ITS NORMAL PLEASE TELL ME

Female | 20

The size of a 12-week-old fetus's head typically measures around 2 cm during a scan. The infant's head undergoes rapid development during this stage, and these measurements are crucial for assessing their growth. If there are no concerning symptoms, this size is generally within the normal range. Nevertheless, it's important to continue attending regular check-ups and follow your doctor's advice to ensure that the pregnancy is progressing well.
