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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I am married, and my last menstrual period was on May 9. I usually have a regular cycle of 27 to 28 days. We take proper hygiene measures after intercourse. I have not yet had my period this month. I experienced cramps around my expected date, but my period did not arrive. I took a home pregnancy test on the 34th day, which was negative. It has now been 36 days. Should I wait longer, try period inducing foods, or do heavy workouts? Please advise.

I had my periods on 30 june. I had unprotected sex on 11 july. My periods were due on 30 july, but till now they have not come. I did a pregnancy HCG kit test yesterday, and the result was negative. I had unprotected sex again yesterday, making sure no semen got inside me. This morning, I did another pregnancy test, and the result was negative. What should I do to bring my periods? Is it still possible that I am pregnant after two negative HCG test results? I am very worried. Please help me.
