I planned for a baby in the month of may. I followed the advice of the doctors to have sexual intercourse from day 8th to day 18th. After these ovulation days I checked for my pregnancy yesterday but the result was negative. The date for my periods is after 1 week. What should I do? Checking before periods does not gives correct result? Do I have any chance of being pregnant in the month of may?

You should check only if your period is overdue by 7 days before that you may get negative results, each month there is some chance of pregnancy.

Checking before periods does not give pregnancy test results, as the pregnancy may not have happened or if it has happened, then the levels of hcg in urine arent so much to give a positive test. So let the date pass. Then do a urine pregnancy test on a morning sample of urine, and do it in a lab.

You need to wait till your periods overdue, then only it will confirm the pregnancy.
