A member asked:
I had sex less than a week before my expected period. it's a few days late now. is it okay to take a pregnancy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take a test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.
