A member asked:
If i had sex on the 10 of last month, was late for days but i think i got my period on 28, and took a test this month on the 10, is it accurate test?

Yes, it is accurate: A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.
