A member asked:
Can i take hpt 4 weeks after sexual encounter? some sources say that one should wait after one misses their period. i'm quite confused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your sources are absolutely correct. If you get your period you are not pregnant so there's no need to take the test. If you don't get your period you may be pregnant, and that's when you take the test. It has nothing to do with the amount of time following intercourse.
