HPT
Ok I talked to a doctor yesterday and found out, if you have unprotected sex within 7 days of taking a HPT it will show a negitive or could so a negitive...WHAT? I had never heard of that! Anyone else?
LOL thats not what she said because i was shocked and asked her in detail she actually meant that it would be negitive because of having unprotected sex! I didnt think that was true but thats what she said. Oh well
Sex isn't one of them. I had unprotected sex daily with DH and still got numerous positive tests. What your doctor means is that a test wont show positive 7 days after unprotected sex because it takes about 2 weeks from conception to show positive on a test. So 14 days not 7. Although some people show as early as like 10 days past ovulation.
It doesn't have any effect.a The only things that could alter a test are things with the hCG hormone in them or diluted urine. Sex isn't one of these.
No it takes 7 days WITHOUT unprotected sex is what I am saying. I am already 7 days late on my monthly but since I have had unprotected sex with my fiance in the last 7 days I have to wait another week cause she says the test will still be negitive. I never knew that a test could be false negitive JUST because you had unprotected sex within a 7 day period of taking the HPT
It takes two weeks to show positive after the sexual encounter that caused pregnancy
