A member asked:

When can i take a pregnancy test? i have the mirena iud and very rarely have my period. so how long should i wait till i take the test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3 weeks: Take home pregnancy test 3 weeks after the episode of sex that may have resulted in pregnancy. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
