you will be pregnant, assuming sperm found an egg to fertilize, in less than 72 hours. The hormone that the body produces will not be detectable for at least 3 weeks after that.

You get pregant within a day or two after having sex. A pregancy test will not give you any results until a couple weeks later. Usually around the time that you should be starting your period again. You will not even have symptoms until your a couple months pregnant.

"WHEN CAN I TEST?
The One-Step Pregnancy Test can be used as early as 4 days before your expected period. If you test before your expected period and get a "-" (negative) result, there is still a chance that you may be pregnant. See the chart below with clinical results from early testing with One-Step Pregnancy Test.
-4 Days 53%
-3 Days 74%
-2 Days 84%
-1 Day 87%"

There are two kinds of pregnancy tests
Urine: can tell you at about 25 days into the pregnancy that you are pregnant. Bought over the counter $10.
Serum: Serum bHCG may be able tell you that you are pregnant as early as three days into the pregnancy. This test you have to go to your doctor and have blood work drawn.

72 hours will tell you nothing...... It takes a full 48 to even get the sperm to the egg then it has to fertilized the egg. A missed period is when it is best to test. Some test will say they can tell you up to 5 days before your missed period but instead of wasting the time and money and chancing you may still have a period you should wait.....................

You can take a test 72 hours later but it wont reveal anything. You need to wait until you are late because you have to wait for the hormones to build up.

I know EPT pregnanacy tests can tell sooner than most, but i think you still have to be right around the time that you should have started before it will be able to tell, though. if you're that worried about it, go to your doctor and he can run a blood test that monitors your HCG levels and that will tell if you are pregnant from the get go.

no, at 72 hours, there is no hcg produced yet. Safest is to test on the day you miss your period. Some home pregnancy test can detect the HCG hormone at 20miu so with this you can test the day before your expected period.

You have to wait and see if your period is late then you would be able to tell but go to the hospital and get a test not these cheap ones in a shop they are never sure

The EPTs say that you can test up to 5 days before your missed period, the sooner in those days that you test the less accuracy the tests guarantee. HTH
