I not sure if i'm pregnant or not. Here's my story he came inside me on sept. 24 early morning like 1:30 and later I found out I was fertile that week. But I was ovulating on the 25th, and today I took a test but it came out negative. So far I have had back aches that was weird, minor cramps, head aches, bloated and a little tired but I don't know if its because of school.I also was a little moody today, but I don't know if it was because I woke up on the wrong side of bed. Which if I was to get cramps they would be three days b4 my period which is the 9th. I don't know if I did it wrong or that it was 2 early. What are your views? Does anyone know how long sperm can last? How long did some of you what before testing?

Sperm can last up to 72 hours. They say, in theory, that the highest chances of fertilization are the 12 hours before ouvulation and continuing 36 hours thereafter.

That said there are many factors tat can kill sperm right out of the gate (ph balance is off, not enough progesterone in lining, etc.). A pregnancy test wont show a postive unitl your body begins producing hcg (the hormone produced when you are pregnant--that's what the test's are testing for). Nornally that is, at a minimum, 7-9 days after ouvulation, I think.

you should see a doctor after one week so that you will know what is happening inside you. Your feelings today are one of the symptoms of a pregnant.
