A short guide to the questions that are asked here over and over ...

We cannot tell you if you're pregnant. Additionally, if you're not trying for a baby but had unprotected sex - yes you could be pregnant, but we still can't tell you whether or not you are. We are a group of individuals who are actively trying to conceive, and some of us have been trying for quite a while and/or have fertility issues, so this isn't the most appropriate place to discuss a possible mishap. r/TwoXChromosomes might be a better spot. The easiest way to confirm pregnancy is to buy a pregnancy test.

Your symptoms 1dpo-5dpo or beyond are not indicative of pregnancy. Progesterone causes essentially the same symptoms pregnancy can cause. You will not have pregnancy symptoms until you have enough HCG to cause the symptoms, and by then, you will also get a positive pregnancy test.

Your period is late, and you're ALWAYS regular, what gives? You probably ovulated late or haven't ovulated. It happens. A lot. It is not atypical at all. If you look through a couple weeks worth of posts, you'll find a ton of posts about the same exact question. If you're "late" but dont confirm your ovulation with temping or ultrasounds, you don't know when you ovulated. An app cannot tell you when you ovulated. Apps take your input info and then make the best guess they can as to when you ovulated - the more info you input, the more accurate they are, but don't rely on them as the be-all and end-all.

I've been here for 6 months now and I see the same exact questions being asked week after week. I really just wanted to stick everything in one place, though I'm sure it's been done before. Add on as you see fit!

Edit: The post is not meant to be unkind. If you're new, welcome! Please don't be shy about posting or asking questions, just take a second to look through old posts or use the search bar to see if your question has been answered. That doesn't mean you need to scour the ends of the sub to find an answer before asking, but if you see your question asked 15 times in the last month, you will likely find your answer.
