A member asked:
Would a dollar general pregnancy test be able to detect pregnancy 5 days after sex ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, that's too soon: Today's home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmit. diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a negative result may be due to testing too early, such as less than 2 weeks after sex.
