Is It Possible That I Am Pregnant Without Enough Of The Hcg Hormone To Show Up In My System Yet?

Hi. I have a question about the possibility of being pregnant. I was on day 40 when I started my period. I had sex on the 39th day. My period only lasted 2 days. I took a pregnancy test 6 days after starting my period. The test was negative. However, I have been light headed for a week now. Is it possible that I am pregnant without enough of the hcg hormone to show up in my system yet?

HELLO

IRRESPECTIVE OF THE LENGTH OF THE CYCLE, OVULATION OCCURS 13 TO 15 DAYS PRIOR TO THE DAY OF THE NEXT EXPECTED PERIOD.

INTERCOURSE DURING THE OVULATION TIME IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN PREGNANCY.

HAVING PERIODS ON 40TH DAY AND INTERCURSE ON 39TH DAY AND NEVER BEFORE DURING THE FERTILE PERIOD IS UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN PREGNANCY.
