How many days to check pregnancy after intercourse?

Question

I dont know when exactly to test after sex and I keep reading different answers. Period date is still more than a week away. How long did you wait before checking with a kit?

Vanita Subramaniam · Answer

Dont test the next day, you will only stress yourself. Wait for the missed period, ideally with morning urine for a clearer line. If still confused, a blood beta hCG at the lab is more accurate.

I used to get so impatient to test early. My gynac told me to wait at least till the period date for it to be trustworthy. The wait is hard but worth it for a real result.

Anusha Patnaik · Answer

I made the mistake of testing too early and got a false hope panic. Waiting till my missed period gave a clear answer. The apps usually suggest testing the day after period is due, that worked for me.

Wait till your period is due, usually around two weeks. Early testing isnt reliable.

Testing right after isnt useful, the hormone takes time to build. Best is to wait till your period is due or a couple days after, that gives a reliable result. Around two weeks roughly.
