A member asked:

Can i take a pregnancy test 15 days after sex? will it be accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on the test: A blood test will be accurate if you take it 15 days after you have had intercourse. A blood test can even be done sooner. Most over the counter urine tests will detect pregnancy the day after you miss your period. So 15 days after intercourse should be enough time to find out if you are pregnant or not.
