Question 1

if i had sex 2 weeks ago can a pregnancy test show positive?

Accepted Answer

Wait for missed: period. Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 2

i had a medical abortion 4 weeks ago. why is my pregnancy test positive? i did have unprotected sex 1 week after but he pulled out.

Accepted Answer

See your GYN: To assure you are still not pregnant, or got pregnant again.  Practice safe sex if you do not want to get pregnant, get on bc and use condoms to prevent sti's.  Good luck.

Question 3

i have irregular periods but have used condoms every time i've had sex. i had a condom incident about two weeks ago, when do i use a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Since your periods..: ...are irregular ,we don't know if the incident occurred during your fertile time. IF you ovulated &amp; conceived around that time,  most likely the test would be positive by now.  If it's negative, I recommend repeating the test in 3-5 days.  Even tho Home Pregnancy tests are very reliable, they won't pick up a pregnancy until the fertilized egg has attached to the uterus.  Best wishes!

Question 4

me and my gf had sex with a condom about 3 weeks ago the pregnancy test was negative but she has horrible stomach pain vomiting and brown discharge?

Pregnancy test: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
