Ok, so i might sound really thick here. And i don't need the 'if you're uneducated on sex, you shouldn't be having it' malarky, but...
There is a strong chance that i am pregnant. I had sex last Saturday, and was due on my period monday. I haven't come on yet. What is the earliest you can take a pregnancy test and expect it to be accurate?
I've searched and it says you can take it about two-three days after your period is due, but is this still the case if you had sex so soon before your period?
Thanks people.

Sex been so close to the start of your period wont affect the result, but would normally mean that the chance of you getting pregnant is less.
Good Luck
do it now. really... the only reason not to do it now is the possibility of getting a false negative, but thats unlikely from what you've said. one thing i've learned is you don't get false positives, so if you get the two blue lines you are pregnant.
would this be a good thing then or not?
Thanks for all the replies.
My periods have been really erratic, but I'm pretty sure they have evened themselves out now. I have bought a pregnancy test, so i shall do it as soon as i pluck up the courage!
I'm hoping for a negative result.
good luck though hope all is ok xx
Did the test this morning and it was negative :yippe:
I can stop stressin now!!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks. It's weird cos like i said my periods had been erratic. I've still not come on, and i think i was due on Monday. Fingers crossed i shall come on soon.
not funny
well if your stressing over it your probably causing your period to be late.
if your so worried take another test.
I'm goin into town today so i shall pick up a few. I'll do one again today and one again after another 4-5 days if i stll haven't come on
:yes: Well, it still takes the recommended few minutes, like any other pregnancy test, but theye just as effective as the £10 tests, just without the fancy plastic casing around the stick!
You can get them in poundland, savers, wilkinsons etc
