A member asked:
Is it true actually it takes up to 2-3 weeks after sex to become officially pregnant? once after this stage i'm i pregnant is it called conception or before?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conception is when the sperm connects with the egg and fertilizes it. This can take up to 6 days after the sexual act for conception to occur. Then 8-9 days later the fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. Technically pregnancy does not officially start until implantation. So the offical start of pregnany can even be 15 days after the sexual act. A urine pregnancy test is +, 3-4 days later.
