Question 1

i recently had intercourse five days ago i'm currently three days late when should i take a pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Now: Anytime after you miss your period is a good time to do a pregnancy test.  A negative home pregnancy test may not be reliable prior to missing a period.

Question 2

period is 4 days late, when should i take a pregnancy test ?

Accepted Answer

Soon: A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.
