Pregnancy unlikely: A pregnancy test gives a very reliable result by 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 pregnant, a blood test is often positive about 2 weeks after sex, often before a urine test is positive.)
