When Is Pregnancy Test Advisable Post Intercourse?
Question: Had my periods on 28/3/16 (where my cycle is of 29 days) but took an i-pill on 4/04/16 which resulted in bleeding for two days (on 09/04/16 and 10/04/16). Indulged in unprotected intercourse on 24/04/16. How long should I wait to get a pregnancy test done?
Brief Answer:
Wait till 7th May.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Since you have taken I-pill in the first half of your cycle, your periods are likely to be delayed this time by a week or so. It is best to wait till 7th May or 15 days after your last intercourse to test your urine for pregnancy.
It is better to use a regular contraceptive like oral pills from the next cycle.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
