A member asked:

Is checking my beta hcg by blood accurate enough to get a result 1 week after having protected sex- condom?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait longer: A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result if done correctly and read correctly, the week after missing a period, or 3 weeks after having sex.
