A member asked:

I had my period 5/23 and on 5/29 had unprotected sex. i took a blood test 6/6 and it was negative. should i test again? was it too soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too soon: You should do the test if you miss your period by 4-5 days. A negative result on a test done too early is not reliable.
