how long do you have to wait to wait to see if your pregnant?

Question

please

Answer 1

You should wait until your 3 weeks late. Because you cant tell if your pregnant with a home pregnancy test until around that time...you cant find out if ur pregnant 3-5 days after you have sex...lol

Answer 2

some of the more sensitive tests can be positive four days before the first day of the missed period. Generally you ovulate between 12-18 days after the first day of your period. A male sperm usually will live between 3-5,sometimes 7 days(super sperm...) in your body, and your egg only lasts one day. So, if you had sex 5 days before you ovulated, you'd have to wait five days for the egg to meet the sperm, then, you'd have to wait a day for it to travel down the fallopian tube, then you'd have to wait 5-6 more days for the fertilized egg to implant. You PROBABLY won't feel symptoms during this period because the egg probably isn't producing pregnancy hormones untill it implants. I said probably because everyones different, and maybe it does.
Once it produces hormones, your levels double every two to three days. Non-pregnant women have a hormone level of between 0-5. The sensitive tests can dectect a level of 25. Others detect levels of 100 or more.

So, if you ovulated on the day that you had intercourse, already had a hormone level of 5, and the egg started producing hormones right away, you could take a sensitive test one week after intercourse and have it be positive. That's a lot of ifs.

Lets do the other extreme, lets say you ovulated five days after intercourse and then got pregnant, you normally have a level of 1, the egg doesn't produce untill it implants, and the hormones double every three days. If you take a not so sensitive test, you should be positive 33 days after sex.
See the variation? So, if you want to test between 7-14 days after ovulation, use your first mornin urine, and don't test more often then once every other day, because you're wasting the test. If you don't get a positive 33 days after sex, and you haven't gotten your period, see a gyno, because you might not be ovulating, and that could be a sign of a problem.
