A member asked:

I'm trying to get pregnant i had sex the days i was fertile and ovulating my period was supposed to come in today but it hasn't when can i take a test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait: Tests may be positive as early as a week after unprotected sex, but the most reliable time is one week after a missed period. If you are trying to become pregnant or having unprotected sex please start on a prenatal vitamin with folate (folic acid) immediately to prevent birth defects
