A member asked:

Unprotected sex 2 weeks ago have i waited long enuf to take a test or should i wait and see if i miss my period bc it shouldn't be long till i start?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Near your period: You can only get pregnant when you ovulate, which normally is 2 weeks prior to your period. It takes perhaps 10-12 days after ovulation for a pregnancy test to be positive. Wait until it is just about time for your period, and then the pregnancy test will be accurate.
