Surely I couldn't be pregnant from that?

[hillyholly]

H and I had sex last Monday but only for about 20 seconds (it was in between other acts) and it was nowhere near the time he finished but my period is a few days late and I feel sick. That's the only time we've had actual sex since January and I had my period last month and took a test mid February just to be sure. Surely that 20 seconds (nowhere NEAR finishing) couldn't result in a pregnancy? TIA.

Hard to be sure if that’s positive or negative. I’m currently pregnant and was late when I tested with a cheapie test strip and could barely make it out at all. I grabbed a clear blue digital and it came up showing I was pregnant. Try another type of test.

If you are a week late, that's either negative or a chemical pregnancy. Whenever I've tested I've only been a few days late and the line has been really, really strong. The shadow could just be an evaporation line - you're supposed to discard the test after 10 minutes because they are no longer reliable, and an evaporation line can appear.

At a week late, you wouldn't be having to use camera filters to detect something. Looks like a shadow. Just test again in a few days and don't feed the MN line-spotting hysteria. From your OP it's incredibly, incredibly unlikely.

Absolutely.
I also agree it’s incredibly unlikely. Still possible but unlikely.
Think about it, some people try to conceive and take all the vitamins, use pre-seed, ovulation tests etc but still take months/years to fall pregnant. That’s because even when all factors are in your favour, the odds are still stacked against you because that’s the way it is!
It’s highly unlikely therefore that you are pregnant from pre-cum. Not impossible but highly unlikely

If you know that you definitely ovulated at your normal time then yes that test would be a lot darker if it was positive, but all sorts (including stress, think the current global situation is making everyone stressed) can delay your ovulation, meaning you could only be 8-9 days past ovulation. This is why I’m taking the faint line seriously, everyone can have an off month and have their ovulation delayed.

H said I'm due any day now and he normally knows when I'm due better than I do but I thought it was 5 weeks. It was two weeks today that the 'event' happened (although it happened at like 11) and he did pull out way before but I know pre-cum can come out whenever and could've gotten in. I'm scared really as it's only 'taken once' with my other pregnancies (literally once with DC2, only time for a while so 100% sure). Worried but unless AF arrives, I'll test Thursday.

I am usually very good at spotting squinters, and I can see the bit that looks like a faint line. But I'm pretty sure it's a shadow.

Also, I'd think it's very unlikely you'd get pregnant doing what you did. But I know that niggle can feel overwhelming, no matter how small the chance. Fingers crossed for you.

I would say negative but get a clearblue.

That is a shadow not a line. If you are pregnant I will eat my hat.

You posted 9/10 days post sex to say you had symptoms and were already late for your period. If you had been ovulating while having sex you wouldn't have been due your period for about 14 days. It is possible to get a positive pregnancy test 10 days after sex, but that would be an early test, before you were late. So it's highly unlikely you were ovulating when you had sex.

Plus sickness doesn't kick in that early. If you are not using other contraception you really need to have a better understanding of your cycle or you will slip up. Try using an app like Ovia.

The first definitely looked positive to me. I got a feint positive 7 days before my period!

Thank you @user3274826, I'll look into that app.

What brand is that test, OP?
The inverted photo makes me think negative and what you're seeing in the original is an evaporation line.
I could be totally wrong. Goodness. I really don't know.
Can you get hold of a First Response?

OH! Sorry! I just saw your previous photos showing it as a pink dye!

I got pregnant even though some of it got me right in the eye. There's always a chance. Hope you get the result you want OP

Looks negative to me

I see no 2nd line!

It's negative OP. A week late would show an extremely dark line straight away if you were pregnant.

Some look positive to me. Hopefing not for you OP. Can you get first response? Or use first morning wee?

I think it looks like flooding in that third of the test? First response would be the best test they are hard to misinterpret xx

First morning wee. That's definitely negative isn't it?

Extremely unlikely to be pregnant from that. And the test is negative.

Better lighting

It’s a negative !

I'd say negative for first morning wee at this stage
