How Early Can Pregnancy Be Confirmed After Intercourse?

I had unprotected sex on the 12th of March and my boyfriend came inside of me. I took an emergency pill (i-pill) within 24 hours. On the 13th, we ended up having unprotected sex again but this time he withdrew when he was about to release. He however still insisted on having another pill and reluctantly, I did. My periods were due on the 19th of March and I still haven t got them. I do feel some sort of discharge coming out. What are the likelihood of being pregnant and when will be the appropriate time to take a home pregnancy test?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

YOu had one risky intercourse during your ovulation period so it is possible that pregnancy occur,but considering your description of it, this risk is minor especially if pill was taken properly. Pregnancy test can be done when period is missed or 8 days after the targeted intercourse so at this point it would be accurate enough to detect possible pregnancy. Standard urine test would be enough for it.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
