Brief Answer:
she is not pregnant...relax

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
No she is not pregnant at all as after your sexual encounter, she had her menses in flow and hence it confirms that she is not pregnant. The menses would have been missed if she would have turned pregnant after fingering( which you assumed was pre cum stained).
The pregnancy test as of now is still negative and that further confirms her non pregnant state. Pos is a cause of delayed menses in her case but it is definitely not pregnancy for sure at present.

Please don't worry dear, she is pregnancy safe.

Brief Answer:
no she is not pregnant...for sure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes you should be completely relaxed as she is not pregnant for sure. As she had her menses , immaterial if her flow was less, it implies that she is not pregnant and further confirmed by a negative urine pregnancy test.
The sexual intimacy act happened in the last days of her cycle when ovum would have already self dissolute and practically it was a safe period and hence all the more reason for no pregnancy.
So you should completely relax and not worry about it at all. I understand it would have been really stressful for you but in your case she is pregnancy safe.

sir thanx for ur assurance..is their any need to repeat the urine test?lastest we did HPT on 7th August(16 days after the incident) and got negative with preganews kit..actually many ppl have said there is no chance of getting pregnant with this act and moreover as she has had her period even if it was with reduced flow for 4 days,there is no chance..still i got scared and suffered from deep stress and anxiety for the last 18 days though didnt engage myself in any intercourse..i am actually very nervous and tensed thats why..sir what about the slight brown discharge once she saw in her underwear?sir so u are assuring me that there is no chance of pregnancy as of now cz she has had her period though with less flow if we dont engage in any sexual activity after that incident?sir isnt it?sir what are safe days of cycle length 34-37?sir kindly answer..plz sir..

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
the slight brown discharge in a known case of pos is due to irregular shedding which can occur and often breakthrough bleeding which is not significant. Its normal to be seen in cases of pcos and even under cases of stress induced hormonal imbalance.

As you have not been involved in any sexual activity after that and still the HPT is negative then you are more than sure that she is not pregnant.
The safe days usually start in a 34-36 day cycle from day 2 to day 15 of her cycle, but in pos there are chances of delayed ovulation as well , so best time is day 2-day 12. which can be termed as safe period prior to likely ovulation.

thanku sir..sir prior to period how many days are safe for 34-37 days cycle?sir without intercourse pregnancy can happen?..sir do i need to test HPT again or shd i relax completely that preganancy cannot occur after the period as we didint engage in any sexual activity after period commenced ie post 25th July?sir sorry for bothering u so much..i was tensed thats why i am asking the same question again..sorry sir..kindly reply..thanx a lot..:)

sir as per my knowledge ovulation occurs 14 days prior to period..it is roundly about 12-16 days before period commences..that means if one engages in intercourse 4 days prior ovulation and 2 days post ovulation,that is not safe..isn't it?..As my gf has 34-37 days cycle length that means ovulation is likely to occur around day 23 or 25 not late than that..if ovulation occurs late period wl also come late..so as per my knowledge day 20 to day 26 are not safe for intercourse..and ovum lives for not more than 48 hrs..so taking it into account,day 20-day 26 are not safe..1 week prior period is safe,is it sir?

Brief Answer:
answered.

Detailed Answer:
Theoritically you are right yes.but the problem with pcos is that there are chances od delayed ovulation and it cannot be predicted unless you had a ovulation kit being used for determining ovulation in pvos case. With delayed menses ,cycle of 34 to 37 days where the androgen levels are higher ovulation tend to be delayed so the follicular phase is increased and not the luteal phase.
So as it is day 28 to day 34 becomes safe period. So chances of pregnancy is low anyhow.
