    Because I wanted to get some answer urgently? I'm sorry I'm not sure why it really matters? Haha

    You need to see a doctor asap

    You can test for pregnancy from the first day of your missed period. The pregnancy test will tell you how soon to test on the leaflet in the box. Sperm can live for up to a week according to my doctor which is why we were told to start trying to concieve on day 9 of my cycle.

    Also. I'm not asking for guesses. I was asking how likely people think it is. As other people may have some idea how pregnancy, ovulation and taking the pill works more than me. Is that ok?
  • I conceived on day 4 of my cycle, just to alarm you OP :D

    If you've stopped taking the pill now, I assume that's because you want to get pregnant?

    Thank you to everyone who has provided helpful answers. I'm going to take an early test tonight (just in case you never know) and save another one for a few days time.
  • You can buy tests in Poundland nowadays :)

    I'm male, have no medical background, don't know the rules about taking the pill, have no children and when I was younger I was tricked into believing that righty made the boy babies so quite obviously my opinion on this matter is extremely pertinent and accurate and should not be ignored.

    It's quintuplets, quite clearly, no question.

    If you don't believe me, I suggest peeing on one of those sticks you get from the chemist.... nail files or whatever they are.

    Well, its clearly not urgent, is it? You're either pregnant or you're not, nothing we say will change it and there isn't even any way for random strangers to make an educated guess!

    I think you mean you wanted replies quickly, which is not the same thing. ;)

    Ok, I guess that there's a 1 in 7 chance you are pregnant.

    Hate to be a killjoy but usually no it's not. You can't ask for or give medical advice on this site.
