How To Determine Pregnancy?
I had unprotected intercourse 13 days ago, as of yesterday. my last period was June 17th - June 22nd. my iphone app shows that I was supposed to start my period July 24th. I took a pregnancy test July 26th and the result came back negative. is there a possibility i m pregnant anyways?

Hello

It is important to rule out pregnancy.
You need follow up urine pregnancy test(UPT) after 10 days.
In early days,Urine pregnancy test may be negative due to less amount of HCG hormone in urine.
However,Ultrasound of pelvis is the investigation of choice for confirmation of pregnancy.It can detect G-sac earliest.
Wish you all the best.
