Posted on Wed, 6 Sep 2017

Question: I had unprotected sex on 8/23 and on 8/29 I got something like my period for three days. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. I take trazadone, wellbutrin and invega. Again, today I took another pregnancy test and it was negative. Is it possible to be pregnant?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If you were in your fertile period then there may be chances of you getting pregnant. however the earliest you can learn about pregnancy post sex is after 7 days of unprotected sex, with a serum beta hcg test . It is a blood test. If the hcg levels are less than 5mIU then you are surely not pregnant.
