Not sure if I'm pregnant

I am a 39yr old woman with a 17 yr old girl. Been wanting 2 get pregnant 4 a long time now. My last period was Apr 3 an was suppose 2 come Apr 28. My cycle is normally  25 or 26 days and I have never missed a period other than when I was pregnant with my first child 18 yrs ago. I had sex on the 25 of Apr (note my period was xpected on Apr 28. To this date it has not come yet and I don't think I was ovulating that day. I don't want 2 be 2 xcited yet but do anyone think I could be pregnant?  I do not want 2 take an early pregnancy an be disappointed. Should I wait to see if period will come  this month?

Well, if you have a 26 day cycle then you would ovulate right around 12 days after the last day of your period which would have brought you to April 18th. You had sex on the 25th which is 7 days after ovulation should have accurred. It is possible if you ovulated late but if you ovulated late then your period should be due today or tomorrow. I hope that helps.

There's a lot of factors that can be playing into your missed period.  If the only time you had sex was 3 days before your period is due then you aren't pregnant.  Women don't normally ovulate that close to their period.  BUT if you had sex earlier than that then there's a chance you are.

If you didn't have sex while ovulating then another reason may be stress, illness, medications.  Or your cycle is changing.  Women's cycles constantly change the older we get.  Especially when we are slowly creeping towards menopause.

If you did have sex around the time you suspect you were ovulating then you can take a HPT now.  It should be accurate enough to give you an accurate reading.  If it is negative wait a week and take another test.  Good luck!
