When to take a test

Question

How long after unprotected sex should a test be taken ? Like when would hcg levels go up enough to show up on a test ? Thanks in advance, ladies ♥️

Answer

Two weeks after ovulation...or the day your period is expected. You can get an early predict test (first response) and test up to 6 days before missed period but its not always accurate.

Answer

Pregnancy hcg will only rise if a successful implantation has occurred, which happens 8-12 days after conception/sperm fertilizing an egg. Just because you had sex doesn’t mean fertilization of the egg took place. 
To answer your question, you would have to know your date of ovulation and then you can countdown to test from there, around the time you should expect your period, so 10-14 days after ovulation.
