preg or not?

[Jess1314]

Do you have to be on peroid to take the pregancy test?
hi, i always have irregular peroids and i don't know when it will come. I have already taken a home pregancy test and it came out negetive but somehow i feel that im pregnant. How can i be sure without going to my doctor? please tell me what to do to find out if im pregnant or not.
Do i have to wait for my peroid?

no you do not have to be on period, that would "normally" indicate you're not pregnant!!! when was your period, and when did you have sex during the 14 days after the 1st day of LMP? it could be since you havent missed your period, you're not preggie.....however, find when those dates were.....if you had u/p sex in the 13-16 days period after the first day of your period, then you'd have been ovulating, and poss. preg...wait till you miss, then test again.....a week isnt always right, i concieved @ christmas, but on my bday in jan, and 2 test within the same month, said neg, yet the weekend after v-day, i got a bright red instant positive!

Hello,

Repeat the pregnancy test in one week.  If still negative it is very unlikely you are pregnant.
