A member asked:
I am on the mini pill, having pregnancy symptoms. i have irregular periods. the test is negative 2.5 weeks after the incident. should this be a long enough time frame to be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pregnancy tests are accurate 4wks after last menstrual period, not 2.5wks after incident. Minipill is tricky b/c it requires precise timing to be effective. If you wait until 27hrs after previous day's pill, you might not be protected.
