A member asked:
How soon can you take a pregancy test, if you had sex a week before your period is due do you have to wait another week or just after missed periodk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 weeks after sex...: A urine pregnancy test is reliably accurate if done correctly and read correctly, done after missing a period or 3 weeks after having sex, whichever is longer. In this case, wait the 3 weeks after sex, so there will be less chance of a false negative result.
