Question

If you think you pregnant and want to do a preggo home test but you not sure when because you cant remember when was your last period and when would you have it, is it true that you should wait at least 19 days after you had unprotected s*x to do the pregnancy test?

thank you.

Answer 1

The test for pregnancy which can give the quickest result after fertilisation is a rosette inhibition assay for early pregnancy factor (EPF). EPF can be detected in blood within 48 hours of fertilisation. However, testing for EPF is expensive and time-consuming.

Most chemical tests for pregnancy look for the presence of the beta subunit of hCG or human chronic gonadotropin in the blood or urine. hCG can be detected in urine or blood after implantation, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilisation..so to get a more accurate result wait up to 12 days after unprotected s*x.

Answer 2

Heya,

Yes this is true if you wait this long your mostly covered. What i would do though means your irregular and may not know when you concieved specifically on what day i would go to your local GP and get him to order a blood test in this will definately tell you if you are pregnant or not. But for the home pregnancy test that will be fine.

I hope i helped
