A member asked:

When should i take a pregnancy test and what is the symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

3 weeks: A urine pregnancy test, when done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (after presumed conception), or 1 week after missing a period. If a woman's normal, regular period happens at the usual time, then she is not pregnant and a pregnancy test is not needed.
