Periods late by 1 week, i have history of pcod, cured now. no latest tests done. i did an intercourse but used protection. it happened 26th of last month. and last period date 1 dec 2022?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
