A member asked:
If i had sex close to my period (a week before i was supposed to start), is it still accurate to test a week after my missed period?

A pregnancy test is usually ready to turn positive two-three weeks after exposure. It can be falsely negative early but is rarely falsely positive. Pregnancy has been documented from exposures at any point in a womans' cycle, even menses, although not as often as mid cycle.

Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.
