Take a test: Home pregnancy tests are very accurate. They are the same tests used in a doctors office. They can detect a pregnancy 7-10 days after conception. The best time to take one is when you miss your period. If you doubt the result you can repeat it in 1-2 days. If you were pregnant the hormone level would rise enough for detection.

Why do the test? : If you had your period after you had sex and have not had unprotected since the period, there is no need to take pregnancy test. You may do the test if you wish.
