A member asked:
Well i had had sex like a day before i took a pregnancy test could that be the reason for the negative because know i'm 8 days late?

Well...,: The active having sex only delays your menstrual cycle if you got pregnant. If you think you might be pregnant then check a pregnancy test. They are cheap and available at any pharmacy.

No: Sex the day before the test would not affect the results. If you are eight days past due for your period and you did the test correctly, you are not likely to be pregnant.

No: Sex foes not interfere with the results of a pregnancy test. You should probably repeat it or have a blood test which is more accurate
