How soon can you tell if you are pregnant?

Question

My friend has been trying to conceieve a baby and they have been sleeping together unprotected the last month or so and she was wondering when she can go out and get a pregnancy test. She is very excited to become a new mom... Let me know thanks

Answer 1

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.)

Answer 2

A home pregnancy test will often show a negative result if it is less than 14 days since conception. Regardless of how late her period is.

My advice is to buy 2 tests. Take the first one when she is having major symptoms, or when her period is 7 days late. Take the other 7 days later. That way if she doesn't get all worked up as soon as her period is one day late.

Answer 3

A few pregnancy tests should be able to tell her within a day of her missed period.

She can take a pg test at her first missed period and get an accurate result.
