Had sex sept 10th took pregnancy test oct 3rd came up negative. was this enough time for a accurate reading ?

Pregnancy tests: Depending on whether sex was just prior to ovulation or earlier in the cycle, the test will be valid or not. If your period does not begin "on time ", use a serum pregnancy test (HCG) which is much more accurate, and can be obtained from a healthcare provider.
