A member asked:
I took a pregnancy test exactly 1month since i had sex. will it be accurate? it said negative. if its right then why haven't i started my period yet?

It's accurate: Today's home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (or when conception might have happened) 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.
