Question

I don't know when to take a test and I'm not sure when I ovulate.

I had my period on the 13th October and was due it again on the 10th of November but I am late. I had unprotected sex between the 31st October and 8th November. I don't know when I ovulate though. Can someone help me? Could I be pregnant? And if so can I tell yet even though it's 12/13 days since unprotected sex.

Same as the answer I gave you earlier. Yes a test will work. If you ovulated more than 12 hours before you had unprotected sex (which you probably did as you're saying you had sex 12 days ago but your period is late and most people get their period about 14 days after the ovulate) then you won't be pregnant. Given that your period is late, any hpt should work, it even says so in the box.

I was told I couldn't take a test before 14 days after unprotected sex. But I took a test and it came up a faint line and I was just really confused and looking for answers because I'm freaking out.
