Well any time you have unprotected sex, you risk getting pregnant. The common mis conception is that if you pull out or if a man does not fully ajaculate then you can not get pregnant. This is false. Even the pre-cum that is released during intial interourse can have semen and cause pregnancy. So I would definitley consider taking a test if you already 3 weeks late. With today's technology, pregnancy is able to be detected a lot earlier. Not sure how old you are and if you have ever been inconsistant before with your cycles but sounds like you have good reason to be concerned. Hope this helps...

if you had unprotected sex then YEAH you COULD be pregnant

and in the case he took the condom off then went again NO you COULDNT be pregnant from that sperm dies in the air
and even if he didnt ejaculate inside you you can STILL GET PREGNANT
if you dont want a baby get on birth control and DONT let him have unprotected sex with you. this is just as much your fault as it is his

Well those test are pretty accurate these days but are not 100% either. I have used those tests for all 3 of my pregnancies and they were right. I used First Response when I was 16 and found out I was pregnant. However, everyone is different, I would wait another few days to a week and test again and if you still do not start then you would want to see a doctor to be sure.
Have you had any other traumatic circumstances unfold recenty that could have cause you some stress? Serious situations or change in diet/exercise can alter your cycles as well... Something to think about..
As far as the timing of when you take the HPT, you would want to get the highest traces of HCG, which is a horomone found in your urine when pregnancy is present. This is at it's most highest level and more easily detected in your first morning urine. This is the hormone that these OTC test are looking for...
Keep us posted... good luck.. and try not to freak out, it could be just that your late this month...hang in there! =)

Sperm does not die in the air. That's an old wives' tale. But if the condom had spermicide on it, you might be okay. Maybe. Don't risk it though.

Never, ever, ever have sex without a condom. Not once, not ever. Take a test, and protect yourself in the future. Having sex without protection WILL GET YOU PREGNANT.

That's not entirely a wive's tale. Sperm don't insta-die when they touch they air, but they do die as they dry out.

Well that's a good sign... but what are you going to do going forward is the bigger question. Try not to forget what this scare has felt like and remember it when your in the situation again and about to have unprotected sex. This will catch up with you... so try to either obstain,get on some birth control and/or use condoms. Otherwise you will get pregnant... glad to hear your getting symptoms of your cycle but try to let us know for sure just to be certain... hahaha. Thanks for the update! =)

You took the pregnancy test incorrectly, and you could be pregnant. You need to follow the directions and take it first thing in the morning, the first time you use the bathroom.
