Mareka, You are jumping to conclusions.

22 Jan is 24 days before your cycle you are expecting now. Even if his sperm survived 5 days (very unlikely) inside you waiting for ovulation and you ovulated 16 days before your next period (unlikely - average is 14 days). You still have an almost zero chance of being pregnant.

I think the 28th of Jan would have been the earliest time unprotected sex could have a reasonable chance of getting you pregnant.

If you have any doubdts, get an early detection pregnancy kit, read the instructions and test. Use the second stick to test 7 days later to confirm the results.

Take care and I hope you get the outcome you are trying for!
