Hi me and my husband are currently trying for a baby. My usual cycle length is 31 days and we had sexual intercourse on the 13,14,15.18 and 19tg of July. My period was due to come on the 31st of July but didnt i am now 16 days late and have took 3 hpt all of whicChatDoctore back negative. Im a bit worried something is wrong as this evening i have had very sharp pains at the left side of my lower abdomen for around 3 hours it is not easing of but im feeling very worn down and tired. What could this be? And not sure whether to go to my gp about my period not arriving as i am not even having my usual pains to suggest its on its way. Please help! Many Thanks. Tanya
Hi. Thanks for your query. Since you have had sex during the unsafe period and also trying for a baby that means these were unprotected sex; Now that you are late by 16 days and urine pregnancy tests are negative, but there is a sharp pain in the left lower abdomen, the ectopic pregnancy in the Fallopian tube has to be ruled out.
