A member asked:

Is it ever too late to take a pregnancy test? the last time i had sex was 7mo ago, i took 3 test 2wks ago. all neg, but were they accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tests are accurate: Pregnancy happens only if you have unprotected sexual intercourse around the time of your ovulation (a few days window) when you have a mature egg ready to be fertilized. Neither the egg nor the sperm survives more than 3-5 days. If you had no recent sex, there is no need for pregnancy testing
