The earliest way to confirm pregnancy is with a blood test, but these are usually only performed in special circumstances. You will get the most reliable pregnancy test result after you miss your period after unprotected sex Roughly two weeks after unprotected sex can be an ideal time to test for pregnancy. From the time you have sex until you are pregnant can take two to three weeks That’s why your home pregnancy tests won’t be accurate if you take the test before your missed period How do i know if my home pregnancy test is accurate?
If you’re unsure when your period is due, aim to take a pregnancy test about two weeks after your last unprotected sexual encounter If you get a negative result but still haven’t had your period a week later, take another test or visit your healthcare provider. You should wait at least 14 days after unprotected sex to take a pregnancy test for the most reliable results While some early detection tests claim to work sooner, waiting until after your missed period (typically 21 days after unprotected sex) provides the most accurate results. Pregnancy tests check for a hormone called hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) Hcg only shows up in your body after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus
