when can i take a pregnancy test Posted: 03-06-08 11:09am


Hi... not sure when i can take a pregnancy test...would appreciate any advice. On tues (2 days ago) me and my husband had unprotected sex (accidentally - split condom). I reckon my period was due yesterday (wed) and has still not arrived (thurs) I realise this was not in my 'fertile' period, but i am still, very panicked, and the fact my period has not arrived is scaring me. They say you can take a test once your period is late - but since this is only 2days after possible conception, it feels too early. How soon can i take a test? Days or weeks? I can't get this off my mind and am very worried. Thanks

You can take a pregnancy test 14 days after the last time you had unprotected sex, so if you had sex two days ago, I would wait at least 12 more days before taking one. Make sure to use your first morning urine.

a more accurate reading would be if you tested 4 days before your period begins, or when you miss your period. with morning urine.
