Ok, Ok....Lets get to it....I'm a Mommy of 3 & idk whats going on. I had my period on the 25th of March--28th of March.....I belive my ovulation days were around the 17th to the 21st to end & I had sex from the 20th--27th of March. I know I got my period, but I did with my other 3 babies too. I was at the end of my ovulation & had unprotected sex....well, he pulls out. IDK, I took a cheap-o test yeasterday evening, not my FMU, it was negative, but I don't start my period til the 22nd of April. Did I test too early, or am I just paranoid?? I don't have many-any symptoms.....periodical nausea, & my breast feel funny, not quite sore, but I guess a bit "full".

your paranoid.
you wouldnt get symptoms this early, your most likely stressing about the thought of possibly being pregnant. Stress plays a part on how our body feels, and can give of "symptoms" when really nothing is wrong. Its all in our heads sometimes as to how we are feeling.
I would test 4 days before your expected period, its way to early to test now, and see what the test says.
Maybe you should get on birth control or use condoms when having sex so you dont worry next time.

It is way too early to test now. Wait until your missed period to test if possible, or get a first response test and test a few days before. The symptoms are most likely paranoia and stress.

Well, I would get on birth control, but I always forget & not to mention i've already had "pre-cancer" on my cervix & the extra hormones from the pills, shots & other forms can aggravate my system & make the bad cells come back. We use condoms sometimes, It's just he's on a boat 28 days & home 7....We don't always get the chance to grab a rubber! IF I would be PG, I would only be 2 1/2 weeks since I concieved. So, IDK! I do hear of women testing positive 8 DPO.....IDK.........

well, theres still condoms.
i mean, if your not wanting another child you and your partner have to be responsible about how you go about safe sex and not getting pregnant or fearing you could be pregnant.
Make the effort to use a condom instead of just say oh well!
its not that hard to remember if you already have 3 little ones running around.
Can and would another one fit into your routine right now? [this is not meant to be offensive]

Well, I know it would be the safest thing to do....use a condom, We just don't always have them "available".....Another one wouldn't be the end of the world, it's just that our "baby" is 18mo. & we have a 5 & 7 year old too. I just wanted to know if the test I took would be accurate....I just don't know?????

Hormones don't aggravate HPV related cervical cell abnormalities and it does not make the 'bad cells' come back. There may be other reasons you don't take hormonal birth control and it may affect you in other ways, but birth control has less than zero to do with any cervical cell changes.

Have you considered getting an IUD? Long term yet still reverseable birth control that sounds like it might be more in tune to your lifestyle.

Good luck.

Do you not think you should make it more "available"?!
you both are already parents, you know the risks of unprotected sex, unless you want to pop out 3 more kids, try making more of an effort to use a condom...with an 18month old baby already and a 5 & 7 yr old, another one would be kinda stressful dont you think?
Or talk to your doctor about other birth control methods so it is always available and you dont have to worry...
