waiting to take a pregnancy test? Posted: 05-16-08 16:09pm
how long after having sex would it take
for the pregnancy hormone to show up on a
home pregnancy test. see i cant just wait
until my missed period because i am
extremely irregular. there are many
months i just dont have a period at all
and when it does come its never at the
same time as my last.

Colie is right, most pregnancy tests are
accurate by 14 days after sex. It takes
that long for the egg to fertalize,
implant, and produce enough hormones.
However, if you have been having sex
multiple times and over various days, it's
harder to pinpoint where to test
(especially if you have irregular periods)
since you don't know which act of sex it
is that was around ovulation time. Good
luck, I hope you get a positive/negative
test (not sure if you are trying to
conceive or if it was an accident that
you're worried about)!!

If you want to test often I suggest you
buy those cheap pregnancy test strips they
sell online.
Have you tried on herbs to regulate your
cycle? That would increase your chances of
conceiving.
