A member asked:
Can i trust the home pregnancy test which was taken on (26 july) 31 days after intercourse? result was negative and there were no symptoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 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.
