How many days after having sex or a missed period should a urine HCG test be done to get accurate results?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a UPT Test (Urine Pregnancy) Test or Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allI had my period for six days. On the 9th day after my period, we had protected intercourse, but due to some confusion, I took an ipill within 48 hours. I experienced a small amount of brown discharge with some clots and abdominal pain, for which I used a sanitary napkin. I took a urine pregnancy test after the brown discharge, and it was negative. Could I still be pregnant?

I have used Sevista 60 mg from 26th June till 11th August. I am not having periods though my pregnancy test report is negative. How long should I wait for my periods to come? If I want to have sex, will I start Overal L again in this situation? Will Overal L give me protection against pregnancy? Will it take months or days for my periods to normalize since I stopped Sevista on 11th August? In the absence of periods, if I start Ovral L, will it prevent pregnancy?
