Question 1

i tested quantitave bhcg after 25 days of intercourse and it was less than 1.2. can i trust on test? is it reliable 25 days after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, the hCG level should be more than 5 if you conceived more than 20 days ago. The test is reliable and I assume you had it done because you had missed your period and the urine pregnancy test was also negative. Take care.

Question 2

is there any possibility of pregnancy in a pcod patient having bhcg 0.4 after one month of intercourse??? also a pelvic usg was scan done after one month of intercourse showing no gestational sac. had periods twice with low flow after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Probably not pregnan: hCG levels less than 5 mIU/ml indicate that there is no pregnancy. Normal increase in hCG varies between 25 mIU/mL and 7500 mIU/mL during the first 5 weeks. It differs in each pregnancy. The best test to use for detecting a pregnancy is the intravaginal ultrasound. No gestational sac indicates lack of a pregnancy. Low flow periods may be due to hormonal fluctuations.

Question 3

when should i take blood quantitative beta hcg test after intercourse/sex?is it accurate enough if i do that 2 weeks after intercourse/sex?

Accepted Answer

3 wks after sex: There is no need to rush. A pregnancy test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 wks 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 isn't needed.

Question 4

is it too late to take pep medication two weeks after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Much too late...: ...for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) against HIV. Must be within 72 hr, rarely up to 96 hr. But not too early for diagnosis. If especially high risk (e.g. unprotected vaginal with pos female, or unprotected anal with pos or unknown male), see a doctor or clinic and discuss early diagnosis of HIV, e.g. with an HIV RNA test. Good luck!

Question 5

i took both postinor-2 pills at the same time 2 hours after intercourse, then i read the website and it told me to take 1 and then another 12 hours later but its too late now, ive had one ovary removed a few months ago. will it still be effective?

Accepted Answer

Directions : It is always best to use medications exactly as directed. Now that the moment has passed it is time to schedule a virtual HealthTap visit with a doctor to discuss a long-term birth control plan to help you in the future.

Question 6

how long after intercourse can conception take place ?

Accepted Answer

: An egg is fertilized within a day or so of a fruitful intercourse. It takes about 10 days for the embryo to plan itself. It takes about three weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. It depend on what your view of conception is.

Question 7

how long after intercourse does conception take place?

Accepted Answer

: 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.

Question 8

how many days do i have to wait to take a home prenacy test? can i take it the next day after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Not next day...: Generally it is advised to take the pregnancy test when you have missed your period.  This is because you need a certain concentration of the pregnancy hormone to be present in your urine for the test to be accurate.  The day after having sex, you are likely not actually pregnant yet as the sperm has to meet the egg and then implant - which takes a couple of days.

Question 9

irregular.on 22 day of my cycle.take 1 dose of levornogestrel (0,75) 1 hour after intercourse, and planning to take other dose in 12h. will it work?

Accepted Answer

Probably for contrac: This regimen is the same as for the Morning After Pill" and will probably work to prevent contraception

Question 10

how long does it take for sperm to reach the egg after intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Sperm can reach egg already in fallopian tube in 30 - 60 minutes. However sperm can survive a few days in the fallopian tube until an ovum (egg) enters the tube ; before they both meet.
