A member asked:
I had sex three weeks ago, my period is due in 3 more days. can i take a pregnancy test now? and will it be accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, or wait a week: A urine pregnancy test, done correctly, gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and thus lead to a repeat test. If a woman gets her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and a test is not needed.
