Is a negative hpt result 6wks after sex accurate or too early to test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accurate by 3 weeks: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, STD's, or medications. A correctly done urine test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner than 2-3 weeks after sex, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.
