Is it possible to get pregnant if we had intercourse on the 8th day of my period during a 28 day cycle? I am now 5 days late, and I took a urine pregnancy test when I was 2 days late, which was negative. What are the possibilities of pregnancy at this stage? I am also experiencing PMS like symptoms and white, creamy, non sticky vaginal discharge.

On a 28 day cycle, ovulation usually happens around Day 14 so Day 8 is less likely but not impossible for pregnancy. A urine pregnancy test done only 2 days late may be too early. Since you are now 5 days late, it is good to repeat the test or do a Beta hCG blood test. White, creamy discharge is common in both PMS and early pregnancy not a sure sign.

When is the ideal time to do a serum Beta HCG test? My period is 5 days late, should I get it done now?

For the past few months, I have been experiencing irregularities in my menstrual cycle, with delays in my periods. This month, I have missed my period entirely. All my blood tests and ultrasound reports are normal.

I have irregular periods, usually with a cycle of 40 days. My last period was on July 31st. I got married on August 14th, and our first intercourse was on August 17th. I experienced red spotting on September 1st, and since then, there has been no bleeding. I took two urine pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. My doctor prescribed Regestrone for 5 days (3 tablets per day). What are the chances of pregnancy, as we have started trying for children and are not using any contraceptives?
