Which Is The Best Time To Test Pregnancy?
I think I am pregnant, I had unprotected sex with my partner but I got my period two days later, then we had sex again after my period which was unprotected as well. It's been almost two weeks since that and I feel some nausea. When would be the best time to get tested ?

Hi,
Pregnancy can occur if you happen to be ovulating during the time of the unprotected intercourse. Ovulation occurs two weeks prior to the onset of the next menstrual period. The best time to test for pregnancy through assessment of serum beta-hCG titres is not earlier than a week after ovulation; for urine pregnancy test to read well, you should wait for 3-7 days after a missed period. If you happen to have regular 28-30 day cycles, you may have less chances of conception based on the timing of the intercourse. Hope this helps.
