Is HPT Result After 3 Weeks Post Sex Conclusive?
Is it possible to get a false negative on pregnancy tests 3 weeks after sex? I took them yesterday and two tests didnt even show a result but i cant help feeling like they might be wrong. Im having all the symptoms and ive never felt like this before.

Hello,
BHCG increases to detectable levels in blood and urine around 11 and 14 days after conception respectively. So, if you had intercourse 3 weeks ago and you conceived, the BHCG should show in the blood tests and urinary pregnancy test.
Symptoms similar to those of pregnancy can happen with other conditions as well and are not specific to pregnancy. So, a woman may have symptoms that suggest pregnancy but she may not be pregnant.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
