Had A Reversal Vasectomy. Had Sexual Intercourse During My Fertility Days. Feel Sleepy, Headache. Can HPT, HCG Detect It Now?

Hi. My boyfriend had a reversal vasectomy a year ago. We had a sexual intercourse during my fertility days. My last period was June 20. I am losing appetite lately and I so lazy. There is an urge that I really need to sleep. I am always having headache too. Can Hpt detect it now? Or a blood hcg is better? I am so worried for I am losing weigh so fast.

Hi, since your last period was 20 June and today is 17 July. since HPT detects pregnancy about a week after missed period so it is unlikely that HPT can detect it right now.
Blood Hcg can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after ovulation so it may be more useful in your case right now.

hello,
thanks for using health care magic,
first of all there are very less chances of you being pregnant as your boy friend has undergone vasectomy.. failer rate of vasectomy is 0.1 to 0.5%..
still if you want to be sure go for beta hcg level.. as HPT doesnt get positive so early, in early stage it will give you false result..
i will suggest you to wait for your periods ..
