When should I do a pregnancy test after the first time of sex? I had unprotected sex for the first time which was on Valentine's day with my boyfriend a week after my period for the month of February.

MIss_congeniality agony auntGood advice,

The best time to take a test hun, is about the time that the next menstrual cycle is due to begin, which basically means the closest to your next period is normally due. this is the best time because this is when womens bodys start to ovulate and their hormones go wild.

The best time to take it is in the morning when you want your first urination, it is the most accurate time has womens bodys are much weaker in the mornings.

Also i dont mean to scare you but if you had unprotected sex i would advice you to also get checked out with your local doctor has there is a possible chance of a STI- sexual transmitted infection, maybe you could go to the doctors and do both? doctors are completly cofidential so dont worry.

Hope this has helped hun, feel free to message me to chat.

Laura1318 agony aunt7 days after your period stopped , you don't need a pregnancy test.

5 days before and 5 days after your first day of your period is the most fertile period.

If you have irregular periods, then 10 days before and 10 days after your regular period day is a dangerous time and more risky in getting pregnant.

If you missed your period by 7 days, you can get a pregnancy test but the results may not be accurate. It depends on which pregnancy kit you used.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 February 2008):

If you're trying to get pregnant you should start charting your ovulation. Keep track of when you start your period. I you have been for at least 3 months, you can find an ovulation predictor calculator online and they can help you narrow down the days of the month where you are most likely to get pregnant. But to answer your question, I think EPT is the only test that "can" pick up pregnancy the earliest but you may need to wait at least 3 weeks.

faith_believe_love agony aunthi,its the best to try it when you missed your period. Some pregnancy test kits is very sensitive and even just a few days late, would detect if there is some HCG in your body. hope this helps. Take Care.
