A member asked:

I had sex on 25/11 and i was due for 1/12 on periods. it is 16/12 now i took a pregnancy test this morning it is negative. can i be sure for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can retest in 1 week: Home pregnancy tests are VERY accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, vaginal spotting, or medications. A test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a negative result may be due to testing too early such as less than 2 weeks after conception.
