Generally you wait 2 weeks after sex/ovulation to take a pregnancy test. For most women this is when their next period is due.

I would wait until your period is due. That will be more accurate. If you test before that, it may be too early. Your HCG levels may not be high enough for an HPT to detect.

So wait about another week and do an HPT with FMU
