Hi.

Thank you for writing to HCM.

Assuming that your cycles are regular and happen every 30 days, it would be safe to assume that ovulation happened on around the 21st of October(Ovulation happens 16 days before the date of the period).

When this happens, there is a chance that one may be pregnant. Usually, one can be pregnant with sexual intercourse 3 days before or after the date of the ovulation. A pregnancy test may be negative when taken too early and repeating the test every 7 days would be a good idea. Getting a blood test for hCG for pregnancy and an ultrasound can help as well.

I hope this helps you! All the best.
