How many days after you've had sex you should take a pregnancy test?

Question

When does the stomach start growing ?

Answer 1

It's possible to find out as early as 10 days after ovulation, most people wait until the first day of their missed period though.

Your stomach growing depends on your body, each woman and each pregnancy is different, but don't expect anything drastic right away. A growing stomach isn't a good indication of pregnancy early on.

Answer 2

If you know when you ovulated, take a test 10-14 days past ovulation. If you don't know when you ovulated, take a test 18-20 days after the unprotected intercourse. Sperm can survive up to five days in the right conditions, so the worst-case scenario would be that you ovulated 5 days after having intercourse, and there were still viable sperm hanging around. From that point, it takes 10-14 days for HCG levels to build up enough to be detected. If you haven't tested positive by 20 days after intercourse, you didn't get pregnant from that particular encounter.

It takes months for a first-time pregnancy to start to "show." It can happen a lot quicker with subsequent pregnancies.

Answer 3

A stomach starts growing around 3 months. Mine didn't until 5 though. And you can take a pregnancy test about 5 days before your period is due. You should just wait until your period is late though and save yourself the money

Answer 4

The most accurate is 3 days after a missed period (generally but some people (although rare) can get a positive the day before your period is due. Were you even ovulating when you had sex? If this is your first baby you probably wouldn't start showing until 9/10 weeks.

Answer 5

Take a test after a missed period. Taking it too soon could result in a false negative. If its your first pregnancy, you may start showing around 4-5 months. Subsequent pregnancies, you will show sooner. THat's just a general rule though, everyone is different. Best of luck.

Answer 6

tests no can be taken 3 weeks after. but if this is your first (possible) child then it might not show up until 4 weeks.

with every woman it's different. some start showing about 3-4 months some 4-5 months. i started showing at 4 1/2 months with my 1st and my 2nd i was showing at 4 months.

now the woman's body is funny. if you think you are pregnant then you start to feel pregnant. your boobs will hurt you may start to feel sick and you period will be late.

just relax and don't think about it. if your period is late then take a test. i know it's easier said than done. Good luck!!

Answer 7

My Dr said most home preg test can show up as early as 10 days after conception, and mine all did!!! I bought answer, the ones that say you can take them 4 days before a missed period. I didnt show until I was 4 months with my first, and second, my third I showed at 3 months.

Answer 8

You should wait at least two weeks before taking a test that way you have more of an accurate result.There is no certain month for your stomach to start growing.My twin has a slim physique and didn't know that she was pregnant until she was five months , and my oldest sister had no idea until i started getting her morning sickness when she came to visit and she was four months.Every body is different.

Answer 9

Answer 10

They are usually performed after a missed menstruation or 2-3 weeks after ovulation.
You really begin to notice the gowing belly in the 2nd trimester or about week 15.
