The : The pregnancy hormone is detectable in the urine 14 days after conception (when sperm fertilizes egg). The test may have been inaccurate because it has not been 2 weeks since you had unprotected sex. You are advised to take another pregnancy test after 14 days have passed.

Too early to test: You should do the pregnancy test three weeks after the episode of sex or after 4-5 days of a missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex Get HPV vaccine
