Pregnancy Risk: Semen on Hand Touching Wet Vulva

It's too early to know before your pe­riod. Around 6 days prior, you may experience­ light spotting, tender breasts, or mood change­s. These could indicate e­arly pregnancy. The best way to confirm is missing your pe­riod, then taking a home test.

The birth control pill is best if taken within three days of having unprotected sexual intercourse. The mechanism of action is to prevent the ovary from releasing an egg. Be mindful, though, the morning-after pill is not 100% effective. To be safe, you should look out for the signs like missed periods, nausea, or breast tenderness. If you get any of these symptoms, it's best to do a pregnancy test.

A faint line on a pregnancy test may lead to one assuming that they are positive but next is to verify with a doctor or obstetrician. 

It is completely natural to be concerned about a late period, even after having your tubes tied. Here’s the thing though – not having a period can occur for many reasons besides being pregnant. Stress hormones changing up or certain drugs could all cause your menstrual cycle to go off kilter. Taking a test can help ease any worries so if this is something that is worrying you then go ahead and do it. 

A faint line may mean you are pregnant, but it could also be due to various factors such as the test's sensitivity, the timing of the test, or evaporation lines. For a more accurate result, you can repeat the test using the first urine of the morning, as it is usually more concentrated.
