A member asked:
I had sex right before i was supposed to start my period, how soon can i take a pregnancy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After missed period: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce 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.
