Hi, i am 41. had periods march 10th, again on march 25th. unsafe sex april 12th. negative test 2 days ago. will a new test in 2 days be accurate ?

Yes: the further the test is done from either the time of unprotected sex, or from the time of missing period the more accurate it will be. so try again in few days.

2wks after last sex: Most home urine pregnancy tests are very accurate 2wks after unprotected sex. If you miss your next period, recheck home pregnancy test. If you don't want to be pregnant, see your clinician to discuss contraceptive options. A copper IUD might be ideal for you, since it will protect you until menopause. If you want to get pregnant, start prenatal vitamins and see clinician asap given your age.
