I had sex with my husband Jan 27 and 29 when I was ovulating. Feb 5th, 6th and today I have had brown and light pink spotting. It started as just brown and it was very scarce and now it is a tad bit heavier but nothing at all like a period. My question is when can I take a pregnancy test?

As soon as the fetus implants into the uterus it starts producing pregnancy hormone. So if what you experienced was implantation bleeding you could most likely get an accurate test about 48 hours from when the bleeding occurred. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

you will have to wait until at least 4 days before your period is due but for best results wait until you have missed your period
