Pregnancy

[RoxyLynn101]

Ok I need to know:

I had my period 3 weeks ago and I had intercourse this week.

How long does it take a sperm to fertilize an egg?

also what symptoms should I look for?

when should I take a pregnancy test?

Thanks ladies, your comments really helped. I think im going to wait a few more weeks to find out for sure.

take a pregnancy test from 4 weeks since your last period. you are most fertile around 14 days before your next period is due to start (ie. day 14 if you usually have a 28 day cycle) so you can determine if you had sex around your fertile time.every woman has a 25% of successfully getting pregnant eac month. symptoms are nearly too early to get. you may have some pink/brown spotting, much lighter than a period from 7-21 days after intercourse (i think these are the days, tis is how long it takes for a fertilised egg to implant in the uterus) it takes a few days to fertilise an egg but by the time your egg is fertilised and you miss a period, you would only be carrying your baby 2 weeks but said to be 4 weeks pregnant. if your cycle is every 5 weeks, you would only be carrying your baby 2 weeks but said to be 5 weeks pregnant. this is how they get an expected due date, as ovulation can not be pin pointed for many women
