How Early Can I Take A Pregnancy Test?

I had unprotected sex with my bf. He did pull out before ejaculation however there was precum present. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or not. I did take plan be after 48 hours realizing that there might possibly be a chance since i was in my ovulation period. It's been 9 days now and I'm due for my period sometime within the next 3-5 days. would Pregnant tests be accurate at this point or should I wait a few more days?

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
You are correct, even if your partner has not ejaculated inside you, the per-ejaculatory fluid also called as pre-cum may contain sperms which can result in pregnancy, though the chances are less. Urine pregnancy test may show negative if done too early. My advice to you is to wait for 1 weeks, if you get your periods then you are not pregnant. If you do not get your periods then do a urine pregnancy test on an early morning sample of urine, as it will then accurately show your pregnancy status.
Hope that answers your question,
Regards, Dr.Imaad.
