My boyfriends condom broke and I am going to take a pregnancy test. How long should I wait after the sex? Thanks

I would say wait till you get your period or not.. And if you don't, take a test a week after you were supposed to get af. Nothing will show up before your period is due.. However there are tests out there that can work up to 4 days before your period, but waiting a week will make it that much more accurate.

I agree... It is best to wait till af is due. However if you really want to test, they are out there! Just get one that can test before af comes!
