Hi,

Pregnancy occur when you did sex in fertile phase of period. Day 10th to 18th day considered as a fertile phase if you have 28 to 30 days regular cycle. Pregnancy test will give positive result once your period will delay by more than 7 days. No meaning of doing pregnancy tests 6 days before period, it will come negative.

You can go for blood HCG test 10 days after sex to confirm pregnancy. It is more accurate and detect pregnancy earlier compared to urine pregnancy test. You can do sex in last 6 days but pregnancy will not occur during this days as it complete safe period. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, maintain proper pelvic hygiene.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
