Ilang araw/weeks po ba after makipagsex, last menstruation period and missed period ung masasabi mo na you can get almost an accurate HPT result?

Hi! HPTs are most accurate when used 1 month after a missed period. Some experts say 1 week after your missed period (1 mo. + 1 week after last period). You may also check the label or the instructions for the HPT kit you wanna use. May specific instructions rin kasi dpende sa brand :)

More than 1 month na po kasi ako since last nag menstruation and nakapagsex. Then almost 3 weeks from expected menstruation ko na hindi pa dumadating. Ilang beses na ako ng HPT then kanina din but all negative. Accurate enougb na ba un for me to say na hindi ako pregnant?

Yes po, accurate naman po ang HPTs especially if done early in the morning before you start your daily grind. Almost impossible po magreport ng FALSE NEGATIVE ang HPT. If anything, getting FALSE POSITIVE results are what worries most women :) The cause of false positive range from simple causes like hormonal imbalances to the more cancers.

Tanong ko lang po. Regular monthly period ko . 2 yrs & 3 months na po kami ng asawa ko. Hindi ako dinatnan ngaun. 9 days delayed. Sabi kasi nila pwede na ko mgPT. Nagtry ako kanina pero negative naman sys. Any advice po? Thanks

If indeed you did the test 9 days after the supposed monthly period, then HIGHLY LIKELY po na tama yung negative result nung HPT. Reasons for delayed or sometimes absent menstruation (amenorrhea) vary. Kadalasan pong dahilan ang stress. Pwede rin pong makaapekto ang too much exercise, diet and weight problems like obesity or the opposite which is being too light on the scales.

Also, ano na po edad niyo? mahalga din po malaman natin whether you are in your pre-menopausal stages na po, thank you! :)

Im getting bruises din na. Usually a sign for me if malapit na dumating mens ko. Pero question lang po, I was expecting kasi my mens last Feb. 13. Around Feb. 10, 11 and 12, I experienced mild cramping. I thought all the while dadating na siya pero wala naman. May explanation ba un? Related din ba sa pagiging delayed ko?
