How much time it takes to confirm pregnancy after intercourse?

Question

It has been 8 days since intercourse and I am already feeling anxious. I know maybe it is too early, but waiting is hard. When can I confirm properly?

Antara Shroff · Answer

Dont stress checking too soon, it just gives wrong results. Give it till the missed period, then a home kit or blood test will tell u clearly.

Roughly 2 weeks, around ur missed period. Earlier nahi pata chalta properly.

Doc explained it takes about 6 to 12 days for implantation, and then the hcg hormone slowly rises. So a home test is reliable only around the time of ur missed period. A blood test can confirm a little earlier, roughly 10 days after.

Dont test the next day yaar, it wont show. Wait till ur period is due or a couple days late, then test with morning urine. Thats when u get a real answer.

I tested like 4 days after and obviously negative, felt silly later. Apparently it needs almost 2 weeks. So patience is the only option, i know its hard.
