A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

PLEASE NOTE: i have submitted this question previously but it seems my question was misinterperted by readers as they seem to have made the focus on my age, as i made a mistake by not making it obvious that i am NOT 16-17, i am 20, as this is my sisters account. :)

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how likely it is that i might be pregnant, and how soon i should take a test

Ok well over me and my boyfriend are trying for a baby, just wondering if anyone could tell me how likely i am to be pregnant if we had sex 4 times on monday and he ejaculated inside me 3 times. as my last period started on the 30th june and ended on the 5th july by my calculations means i would be ovulating on the 19th of july (the day we had sex)

how likely is it to get pregnant if i am ovulating? does it increase my chances astronomically or does it not make that much of a difference?

Can anyone offer any insight as to how likely it is im pregant? and how soon should i take a test as my periods are EXTREMELY IRREGULAR.

Pregnancy symptoms:

Sensitive Nipples, enlarged and swollen breasts

Feeling irritable all the time

Something similar to period pains in my abdomen but not period pains

Feeling tired all the time

Thankyou in advance for any and all answers x x

I realise that the readers on dearcupid are not neccessarily doctors (Although some may be lol) but I just wondered if anyone could offer there opinion, perhaps if they had trouble conceiving previously, also any home remedies on getting pregnant would be great!!!!

eyeswideopen agony auntHow long have you been together with your boyfriend? How is your financial situation? Have you gotten all the formal education you would like? Has your boyfriend? Why aren't you considering marriage BEFORE you conceive? Will you be able to stay at home with the baby, if not, will you be able to afford daycare? Have adequate health indsurance?

DrPsych agony auntIt can take up to a year for a healthy couple to conceive a baby. If your cycle is not regular then you should see a doctor as there maybe a hormonal reason why this is the case. If your progesterone levels are low then it will affect your chances of conceiving. A simple blood test could rule out any specific fertility problems such as polycystic ovaries (which cause irregular periods). If you have such problems it may take longer to get pregnant, but it is possible. I have polycystic ovaries and a healthy baby boy. Good luck!

CindyCares agony aunt If your period had started on June 30th, in theory you have been ovulating around July 13th. This can have happened on July 19th if you usually have longer menstrual cycles ( 33 or 34 days between a menstruation and the next ).

Of course there must be an ovulation for conceiving, you get pregnant precisely because sperm meets and fertilizes your ovum. This does not mean there is only one day every month to get pregnant, because sperm can survive 3-5 days inside you, and the ovum survives 48-72 hours. This gives you a window of opportunity of 5-7 days.

If your periods are very irregular, you should consult your OB/GYN because there may be hormonal problems.

To find out which day exactly you are ovulating, in pharmacies they sell specific kits.

You can take a test as soon as you miss your period but at such an early stage you could have a false negative response, so it's better to repeat it when yoou are at least one week late.

As for symptoms every woman is different but I think that

right now it's really to say, since what you have mentioned are also PMS symptoms.
