A member asked:

Took a pregnancy test 14 days after sex with a negative result. is it accurate? or was it to soon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: A pregnancy test should be taken 14 days from ovulation not from when you had sex. It could be too soon. You should take a pregnancy test close to when you are expecting your period to come or 14 days after ovulation.
