A member asked:
Is it true that pregnancy tests will be accurate 21+ days after intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A urine pregnancy test done correctly will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (about 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, and therefore lead to a repeat test. If a woman has her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed yet.
