YummyMummy agony auntI would suggest going to see your doctor to be tested. I did 3 pregnancy tests and they all came back negative. Yeah which is why I am now 23 weeks pregnant..... I can't explain it either bearing in mind I didn't start testing until like the 3rd month.

You can chat all your options through with your surgeries midwife who your doctor will refer you to if the test comes back positive.

You have to be under 24 weeks of pregnancy. I would try not to wait that long though if you seriously do not want this child if it comes back you are. I'm 23 weeks and baby moves and kicks every day now.

The dates below for a legal abortion arn't correct, in the UK you can abort a pregnancy up to 24 weeks.

You are better getting advice from an organisation such as Brook about things such as abortion. Take a look at this URL: http://www.brook.org.uk/content/M2_5_abortion.asp for further information.

candy00s agony auntAn abortion has to be done within the first 3 months after that it becomes illegal to abort the baby.

Every pregnancy test kit is different some are within the first 3 days (new ones) and some take a few weeks. Best to ask pharmasist for advice or read the back of the box.

cd206 agony auntHi, the pregnancy test question depends on when in your cycle you have sex and what brand test you use. Some are effective within three days of unprotected sex and with others you need to wait until your period is late. It usually explains which of these it is on the box.

As for abortion you need to have it done in the first three months. Technically abortion is legal until 20 weeks but doctors will only consider doing it this late in exceptional circumstances. The earlier you get this done the better for your own wellbeing. If you think you might be pregnant it might be a good idea to ring Brook. They give loads of sensible and helpful advice.

the best time to take a pregnancy test is 3 days before your suspose to have your period and if it already past then two weeks after entercourse and if it say no then its probably right but you can always try again about 1 wk before your next period is suspose to start and if abortion is an option well they dont do abortions after 3 months. good luck
