Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Pregnancy Test: An early pregnancy test or blood test would likely be accurate now (depending on how long ago you had sex). For instance, if you had sex 5 days ago - that would be just too early to test. A regular home pregnancy test may show a + now if you are pregnant -but would be more accurate if you wait until you miss your period. Take care.
