Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 34-year-old married woman. I had physical intercourse on the day of my ovulation. After that, I am having cramps in my lower abdomen specifically pelvic area. Also, yesterday I had an indigestion problem and I am feeling sleepy for the entire day. My last ovulation date was five days ago. But my pregnancy test showed negative results yesterday. What are the chances of pregnancy considering my age?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you had unprotected intercourse around your ovulation period then there is 40 to 50 % chance of getting pregnant if everything is fine. Ovulation can be plus or minus and we have to calculate it retrograde after getting period. If you have a regular period then there is more chance that your ovulation date it to be final. Even if there is pregnancy it takes 14 to 15 days to turns urine pregnancy test to be positive. You have to wait for those days. Age is important but more important is hormones releasing in your body and the quality of ovum produced in this cycle, which is more important than anything else. There are hundreds of factors that can affect the course. But at last, we have to wait for 15 days. You can do bHCG (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) blood test after 10 to 12 days. But you have to repeat to see whether the pregnancy is there and it is growing or not. Pelvic pain and indigestion problem can be due to stomach infection or urinary tract infection. Do drink more water. During later half of the cycle, weakness can be due to progesterone releasing in your body. As I said there are many things and many explanations. So the best thing to do is to wait for 10 to 12 days and do B-hCG blood test or wait for 15 to 16 days and do a urine pregnancy test.

I hope this helps.
