A member asked:

I had sex on march 16th. if i take a pregnancy test on tuesday (15 days after sex) would it be accurate? next period is due april. 7th

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait for period.: It really depends on the test. Most are reliable after you miss your period. Some are reliable a few days before that. The best thing to do is wait and see if you miss your period. Best wishes!
