as others have indicated, the EPT (or equivalent) is the quick & easy way to go, and it's what the hospitals use now, anyway, because it is so accurate
also as several have indicated, it takes a little while to *get* pregnant after the physical act -- so, if you're not wanting to become pregnant AND you don't want to kill a baby (have an *elective* abortion) -- a spermicidal douche is the way to go.
however, if that's the way you want to go, you need to be quick about it, since it's already been 3 days
on the other hand, if you would like to be pregnant, just wait a couple of weeks and do an EPT

The egg and sperm may not even meet each other for up to 5 days after you had intercourse. Then it takes up to a week for the fertilized egg to implant. Then a few days for the hormone levels to become detectable. So you really will have to wait about 2 weeks before you get a meaningful test result.

you can't.....you can go and have a blood test done though. A blood test will show you are pregnant 6 days after conception.
A home pregnancy test can't be used until 5 days before your missed period.
Good luck

i recommend an ept
but you should wait at least 10-12 days after you 'do it'
if it comes out negative, try again a few more days, it might not have been able to show up at the time
if it comes out positive go to the doc to confirm
good luck

you have to want at least seven day after the egg meets the sperm to get a blood test to tell and that means you have to go to the doc......that is the only thing that sucks....but GOOD LUCK

I don't think its possible to know this soon after having sex. I could be mistaken, but it will take awhile before you can tell with any certainty one way or another.

Wait 2 weeks then take an EPT......Still may not be accurate if it reads negative, but there is never a false positive....Take care
