Came Off The Pill, Had Withdrawal Bleed After Unprotected Sex. Took Pregnacare Tablet. Could Be Pregnant Still ?
I came off the pill in December and gave been having unprotected sex,I had my withdrawal bleed from the pill but this month my period came 10 days late. I have hardly any cramps and flow is light. It started off very dark in colour and has now become lighter, I have taken one pregnacare tablet and all my pregnancy test are negative. Could I still be pregnant?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
It is unlikely that you are pregnant if you have a negative test in the setting of a delayed period. It is not uncommon for there to be some variation in terms of when you ovulate as your body clears the hormones from birth control pills. I would use protection (unless you are trying to get pregnant) and repeat the pregnancy test in one week.
I hope that this helps. Good luck!
