A member asked:

Can you have pregnancy symptoms 1-2 weeks after sex? if so can you get a positive pregnancy test 3 weeks after sex?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Being Pregnant: Any positive pregnancy test means you are most likely pregnant. Testing is considered appropriate about fourteen days after the sexual encounter or when a period has been missed or delayed.
