A member asked:
If you have sex 5 days before your expected period when should you take a blood pregnancy test ( not home pregnancy test)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy test: A serum pregnancy test ( if your period is "late") using HCG (human growth hormone) is best done a week or so after your period should have occurred. Remember, though, that at 39, periods are delayed frequently, and do not always indicate pregnancy is present.
