Does the post-petting test conducted this morning give a reliable result?

It is best to take a pregnancy test about 14 days after intercourse or petting, if you think that there may have been a situation in which live sperm could have found themselves in the vagina. It is not clear from your post when the rapprochement took place, so I cannot answer whether the test is reliable. In the case of irregular menstruation, ovulation can also fall on different days. Stress can be a factor in menstrual disorders. As a rule, however, they should be diagnosed at the gynecologist, since they generally have a direct cause in the malfunction of the endocrine system or in disorders of the reproductive system.

To @Maja: Maybe it is worth going to a specialist who will show you how to deal with this type of intrusive thoughts. Teleconsultation with a psychologist can be used, e.g. here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-psychologiem

How to deal with intrusive thoughts that maybe it was not a period and it is not okay? I do not know where I got such a panic and how I could remedy it, to be sure after this bleeding I did another test that came out negative because I read on the Internet that despite bleeding you can be pregnant but it seems to me that it is impossible. :(

To @Maja: In this situation, there is no reason to worry.

Bleeding came on 20.08 and lasted for five days. The next day I noticed brown spotting, I think it was a discharge mixed with blood. Do you think that if this bleeding has occurred, should I not worry anymore?

To @Maja: The test on the first day of the expected menstruation and today give such reliable results that there is no need to do another .

Thank you for your reply. It is suggested to do the test only on the day of the expected menstruation and not earlier, so if my period is late (according to the application I have on my phone, 5 days) is the test on the first day of the expected menstruation and today give such reliable results that there is no need to do another one? (Both done in the morning) should I do a test in a few days to be sure?

To @Maja: As I have already written to you below: "If more than 14 days have passed since the rapprochement, then the pregnancy test should show pregnancy if it happened." A home pregnancy test can be considered reliable according to the manufacturer's declaration. Detailed information can be found in the material attached to it, as well as data on the reliability of the test performed in accordance with the instructions. For example, "On the basis of clinical and laboratory studies carried out, it was found that the reliability of the pregnancy test is 99%". Or "more than 99% accurate" or "accuracy over 99.9%". So there is a very small margin of error.

So the result is reliable and I should calmly wait for the period?

To @Maja: If more than 14 days have passed since the rapprochement, then the pregnancy test should show pregnancy if it happened. The pregnancy test examines the presence of chorionic gonadotropin, which begins to appear in the blood after embryo implantation. The reliability of the pregnancy test is therefore strictly dependent on how much time has passed since intercourse - too early the test will not detect the hormone, because there will not be enough of it in the blood yet. In the case of an irregular cycle, it is difficult to assess whether menstruation is actually "late", since it always comes on a different day. However, late menstruation does not interfere with the result of the pregnancy test. Generally, a menstrual cycle is considered regular and normal if it lasts 28 days (plus/minus 5 days) and the number of days of the cycle is about the same in subsequent cycles.
