Brief Answer:
Wait till your next period

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the question

It means you had sex 8 days before expected date of menses . It is seven days since you had sex It takes about 96 hours for egg to fertilize and implanted in uterus .

Secondly luteal phase is of 14 days and sex 8 days before menstrual bleeding is unlikely to find an egg for fertilisation so I think you need to wait till you get your periods .

Let me know if I can assist you further.
