A member asked:
Can pregnancy come up after not having sex for 3 weeks?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pregnancy: I am not sure I understand your question. However, a woman may not become aware that she is pregnancy 3 weeks after sexual intercourse - and sometimes much longer after that.

Yes: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
