How long can I take a pregnancy test after intercourse?

Fan question: How long can I take a pregnancy test after intercourse?

A: Keep in mind that there is a danger in taking a home pregnancy test too soon, since you can easily get a false negative. (The pregnancy test says that you are pregnant, but a few days afterwards, you get your period.) On the other hand, if you wait too long, you have less time to prepare yourself for the reality of pregnancy.

Pregnancy tests look for a specific chemical that the body begins to make as soon as a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. But after an egg has been fertilized, it takes 6-9 days for the embryo to implant. Then it takes another week for the body to build up enough of the chemical (called human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG) to register on a pregnancy test. In other words, it takes about 2-3 weeks after ovulation for the chemical to show up in the body, or about one week after a woman should have gotten her period.

There are two types of tests women can take to find out if they’re pregnant; a blood test or a urine test. A blood test is more sensitive than a urine test and needs to be done by a doctor. A urine test can be done by a doctor or using an at-home pregnancy test.

Many women prefer the convenience of taking a pregnancy test at home before visiting the doctor for confirmation. At-home pregnancy tests looks for hCG and they can give relatively accurate results if done according to instructions. However, it’s always a good idea to read the packaging because different at-home tests have different sensitivities. Some early response tests can provide an accurate result on the first day of a missed period. Others will provide the most accurate result one week after a missed period.

How about doing exercise in third trimester?

Things are starting to get serious – you have little feet jammed into your lungs, massive heart burn, swollen feet and the tiredness is back – and while you may feel like clocking out until the baby’s born staying active will help you both mentally and physically, especially as delivery time approaches. This is the time to really watch your step, however. Your balance is shot, you probably can’t see your feet anymore and it’s easy to misjudge how far out your belly really does extend so take it easy doing things like advanced yoga poses, step classes and other sports where you have a risk of falling. Also, while those Olympic ladies I listed up above managed to run through their whole pregnancies I’ve never been able to do that through mine. Sometime during this tri my hip flexors (the part where your leg attaches to your hip) give out and jogging becomes excruciatingly painful so I don’t. Plus they say walking helps get labor going!

Doing exercise in second trimester?

You’re finally starting to show and while that makes you adorable in your maternity clothes it also means that your uterus is large enough to start putting pressure on your vena cava when you lie on your back. This doesn’t happen for everyone but if it does happen for you, you’ll know it. As soon as you start feeling dizzy, light-headed and/or nauseated, sit up! And you should skip back work for the remainder of your pregnancy. Another fun thing to look out for is “round ligament pain” that happens usually when you twist to the side but can strike even when you’re standing still. It feels like you’re being zapped with an electric cattle prod.

The upside to this tri is that the morning sickness is usually gone and you have some more energy. You can keep weight lifting and cardio, again as long as it is feeling good. Just take extra care to maintain good form as the hormone relaxin is pumping through your body now and it will loosen up all your joints making it easier to injure yourself. Keep hitting the iron but this is not the time to go for that back squat record is all I’m saying.
