Not sure how to help: Wait at least two weeks after last unprotected intercourse. If no. At that point, recommend home pregnancy test on first morning urine. If negative, repeat in 7 to 10 days. If both negative, unlikely you are pregnant. Please practice safe sex, always, always use a condom. Good luck with this.

A member asked:

Does a smeared blue line count as positive on a pregnancy test? Or is it a faulty test? Too much urine? My period is 15 days late. I've had other symptoms of pregnancy as well.
