"My period hasn't come, and we didn't use contraception." Ariel Morris's voice carried a raspy edge of joy and tears mixed, "So, there's a big chance I'm really pregnant, right?"
Doctor Chapman nodded, "It should be. It's still too early, nothing can be seen on an ultrasound, and early pregnancy tests need several weeks after conception to detect anything. Think about how long it's been since you were last intimate with Arlo, if the time hasn't passed yet, it might not show anything. Plus, the test results could have been affected by toxins, so we really can't determine if you're pregnant."
Ariel Morris's initial joy felt like a bucket of cold water was poured directly into her heart, leaving her thoroughly chilled!
Ariel thought back to the days since she was last intimate with Arlo, roughly estimating how many days are left before she might find out she's pregnant.
