When To Check For Pregnancy After Having Sex?

Hello, i would like to ask you something about the possibility of being pregnant. I´ve had an intercourse on 21 of July, it was protected, however, i think i´ve just had my ovulation days within. On the 26th of July i´ve started to experience slight abdominal pain/ cramps. The pain was being different as to what i am experiencing before my normal period starts. I was supposed to get my period on the 3rd of July (as the most suitable day). However, i got a bleeding 2 days before, on 1st of August and this was only a weak bleeding/ spotting, that didn´t last for the whole day, was intermittent. It however continuted until the Sunday, 5th of July. (light bleeding) I´ve made a pregnancy test on 2nd of August and again on the 5th of August (at night, so probably the early morning o the 6th), both giving me a negative result. However, i still have a suspicion of being pregnant as feeling more tired, having slight abdominal pain during the day (not every day but sometimes), and feel like my tempterature is increased. My month cicle use to be 28 days. I´ve forgotten to mention that the intercourse was the 1st i´ve experienced. So i am asking myself whether i should wait and make another pregnancy test later this week and think of the possible pregnancy or consider all the symptoms of : light bleeding during the time of my normal period, abdominal pain etc. to a fact i may have been stressed and thinking too much about the possiblity of being pregnant? or to the first sexual intercourse? Is it possible to experience unusual period (in terms of bleeding) after having a first intercourse? Another thing is, the only line on the second pregnancy test i´ve made was supposed to stay visible for a few minutes only, it however stayed there until now (more than a day after taking a test), but there is no other light line visible there. Thank you very much for answering my questions. Milanova, Lucia
