A member asked:

If i got a negative pregnancy test 5 weeks after sex is it accurate? is 5 weeks long enough to wait? i took it in the evening though.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be right: If you continue to not get a period, retest in a week with first urination of the morning. Good luck
