how soon after having sex can you take a home pregnancy test?

Answer 1

You should wait until you miss your period.

Answer 2

I take it you mean, how soon after having sex would the pregnancy test be able to tell you if you have conceived. The best thing would be to wait two weeks after you miss your period. But some of the new tests are touting that they can tell you 10 days after conception. But, if you don't want to worry about false negative readings, and end up having to buy two tests instead of one, it is best to wait until two weeks past when you should have started.

Answer 3

If you go to the doctor they can tell but if your taking an over the counter pregnancy test I would recommend you wait until you miss your period. The Clearblue pregnancy test kit is the most accurate.

Answer 4

First Response is the best home kit for testing yourself it can detect pregnancy about a week before you are due to have your period

Answer 5

You can take a test anytime, but that doesn't mean that you will get accurate results. You usually have to wait until two days before your missed period. You can take a blood test at doctors sooner, but expensive.

Answer 6

You need to wait until you miss your period b/c a home pregnancy test will not detect at conception.

Answer 7

An early predcton test will give you an answer upto 4 or 5 days before your period is even due. Not sure how accurate they are though.

Answer 8

some tests can records changes in hormone levels as early as 2 weeks but for some it may be as long as 4 or even 6 weeks, try first response or clear blue if you want to know sooner rather than later

Answer 9

Answer 10
