A member asked:

Can you get a positive pregnancy test 3 days after sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A home pregnancy test that detected HCG in the urine can be positive in about 2-3 weeks. But if you have a blood test drawn, they are positive much earlier -- although usually only after several days. So -- no!
