We had intercourse recently and I'm a bit concerned as my period is late. How soon can you take a pregnancy test after intercourse to accurately check for pregnancy? I want to know if it's too early.

Hey, don't stress too much! Wait for about 14 days after intercourse to test, or simply wait for your missed period date so you can be absolutely sure.

I tested 10 days after having intercourse and got a negative, but when I tested again after my missed period it was positive. It is honestly better to wait at least 14 days for an accurate result.

Beta, don't rush into checking so soon. Wait for at least two weeks or till your period is late, then check calmly at home.

I completely understand the urge to test early, but the body needs time to build up the hormone. Wait at least 14 days after intercourse, though waiting for your missed period is always the safest bet.
