Is a beta hCG test a confirmatory method to detect pregnancy after 17 days of intercourse? If the result is negative, can I relax, or is any further testing required to confirm?

Beta HCG blood test is the most accurate test to detect pregnancy. After 17 days of unprotected intercourse, a negative Beta HCG means youre likely not pregnant. No other test is usually needed after this. You can relax and stop worrying. If periods remain missed, repeat the test after 2 to 3 days for reassurance.
