Tests are accurate: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A 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, a negative result may be due to testing too early such as less than 2 weeks after conception.

Pregnancy ? : If your periods are regular (24-32 days apart) pregnancy is possible with this history. Obtain a serum HCG test to be sure. See your gyn physician if positive.
