is the home pregnancy test accurate after about 6 days after unprotected sex?

Answer 1

You need to wait about 2 weeks after you have sex.

Here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor.

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Answer 2

No. By the time then egg is fertilized and then implants it is only three to five days after sex. You need to wait atleast two to three weeks after you have unprotected sex to take a home pregnancy test. The best time is a day or so after you missed a period.

Answer 3

The accuracy rate is not 100% on any test. There was a consumer report item on a morning new show about a month ago and the consumer report tests showed that the EPT Early Test was the most accurate.

Answer 4

No. Even if you did conceive, the pregnancy hormone (HCG) wont be strong enough to be detected. The earliest you will be able to find out is 5 days before your next period, when using an early pregnancy test. With a standard test, you must wait until you miss your next period. Good Luck =)

Answer 5

no, it can take up to 5 days alone for the sperm to reach your egg, meaning, you may have sex today, but not actually get pregnant til 5 days later.
wait til you find out if your period is late, generally home tests give a better result then.
home tests are really high standard these days, so accuracy is quite good, although not 100%.
a blood test will determine this for you.

Answer 6

No, usually the test is accurate 5 days after your missed period.

Answer 7

the being pregnant experiment isn't correct after unprotected intercourse, it is correct once you truthfully omit your interval. I might wait an afternoon or 2 after your interval was once meant to begin after which take it.

Answer 8

NO! More like 6 days after your missed period.

Answer 9

NO-for best results and the most correct wait till after a cycle is missed.

Answer 10

Nope.

By then the embryo wouldn't even be implanted in the uterus (in most cases). It's still moving from the fallopian tubes down into the uterus. Since it isn't attached to anything yet, it can't be detected.

Wait at least until your period is due.
