A member asked:

I had unprotected sex approx 10 days before my period (which is very irregular). my period came. how long should i wait to take the home test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

U can take it now: If your period came, then it's a good sign that you ate probably not pregnant. If you are in need of some peace of mind, then it would be able to detect a pregnancy usually several days before the period is due.
