A member asked:

Been a week since unprotected se x & i'm not feeling myself. period should come the 20th but can i test for preg now or is it too early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too early: A urine pregnancy test done correctly 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 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.
