I am taking a 24/4 birth control as directed. today will be day 3 of placebo pills and i am not having a bleed. i had sex on 12/31 and again on 1/4 - i took a pregnancy test both yesterday and today both were negative. do you think this is accurate?

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.
