Doctors’ responses
You had unprotected intercourse on the 7th day of your period. • For most women with a regular 28–30 day cycle, ovulation happens around day 12–16. • The first week of the period cycle (days 1–7) is usually a low fertility window, so the chance of pregnancy is very low — but not absolutely zero if cycles are irregular or ovulation occurs early.
2. Pregnancy tests • You did two urine pregnancy tests and both were negative. • If these were done at least 2–3 weeks after intercourse, they are quite reliable.
The bleeding after taking norethisterone usually means you are not pregnant, because the medicine works only if your body was not already maintaining a pregnancy.
Since you got withdrawal bleeding after norethisterone and had negative tests, it is very unlikely you are pregnant. • The bleeding you got can be considered like a period.
For reassurance, you can repeat a urine pregnancy test around 3 weeks after the intercourse date for confirmation.
I did the pregnancy test 1 week after I missed my period so that means I am not pregnant
Yes you are not pregnant as you got your period and your pregnancy test were normal
If you still have a doubt you can get beta hcg levels checked
I got the period after taking norethistrone so is that okay
Does getting period after norethistrone means I am not pregnant and will I get my normal periods next month or will there be any problems
What kind of fluctuations and plus pregnancy is not there na?
Hello dear See the medication you have taken it given to delay the periods. Also,the pregnancy strip test is negative too. So i think you will not be pregnant now. However just to clarify the doubts please get following tests done Serum tsh Pregnancy strip ( blood beta-HCG test) Serum prolactin Serum Lh Serum progesterone Serum ferritin Please share the details with gynacolologist in person for better clarification . please don’t take any medications without consulting the concerned doctor Regards
I have done a blood test and I have shown to the homeopathic doctor and he is saying it is hormonal imbalance and has given me medicines. I had done the pregnancy test twice and both times it was negative
Can you provide clarity over whether I am pregnant or not
Hello dear Thanks for the response Then get other tests done for more clarity and get confirmation from gynacolologist Hello or she being specialist will guide you with further details Thanks
Hello dear Thanks for the response No you are not pregnant. But I suggest you probably within a month Please get these tests done. They will definitely reflect your reproductive health And secondly, As there are hormonal fluctuations so confirmation is must to know the exact status Thanks Re
So these tests are general right and not pregnancy specific. Is there anything to worry about regarding pregnancy
Having intercourse on the 7th day of your period carries a very low chance of pregnancy, and with two negative pregnancy tests plus a withdrawal bleed after norethisterone, pregnancy is highly unlikely. The bleeding you got is a sign your uterus lining has shed. For reassurance, you can repeat a urine pregnancy test 3 weeks after the intercourse or consult a gynecologist.
Having sexual intercourse on the 7th day of your cycle typically falls within the menstrual phase, when the lining of your uterus is shedding. While the likelihood of conception is lower during this time, it’s not impossible, especially given variations in cycle lengths and ovulation timings. A negative pregnancy test is more reliable if taken at least two weeks after the potential conception date or around the time your period is due, as it takes time for hCG levels to become detectable in urine. The test is more accurate if the directions are followed precisely, including using the first morning urine when it’s most concentrated.
Taking norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone, can induce a withdrawal bleed, which resembles a menstrual period. This bleeding indicates that the uterine lining is shedding, which typically wouldn’t occur if pregnancy had established itself. While norethisterone and subsequent withdrawal bleeding strongly suggest that you’re not pregnant, it’s not an absolute confirmation. If there’s any lingering doubt or symptoms related to pregnancy persist, it might be wise to repeat the pregnancy test in a week or consult a healthcare provider for more precise guidance.
Keep in mind that frequent or irregular use of hormonal manipulation can interfere with your natural cycle and may require monitoring or advice from a doctor to ensure overall reproductive health. If you’re consistently engaging in sexual intercourse and concerned about pregnancy, it might also be a good time to discuss reliable methods of contraception that align with your lifestyle and health considerations.
