A urine pregnancy (HCG) test gives accurate results 14 days after sex. Or you can take it 1 to 2 days after a missed period for reliable results. Testing too early can show a false negative. Use first morning urine for best accuracy.

After how many days of missed periods we get accurate results of pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, on the 17th day of my period I went for a follicular study. My doctor injected HCG 10000 for egg rupture on the 18th day. I assume my egg ruptured then, but we were not able to have intercourse. On the 19th day, the doctor confirmed that the egg had ruptured. Since I did not have intercourse on the 18th day when the egg ruptured, is there any chance of pregnancy?
