pregnancy tests like most things to do with sex do not come with a 100% gaurantee. so what im saying is its probably better to take another check (pregnancy test within like a week) and see the results from that. i remember taking my friend to a clinic and she had to have two tests over a space of a week and a half.

 

still this doesnt provide you with a 100% accurate answer.

 

i think to prevent it though you should use contraception only there is an aspect of pre-cum let alone ejaculating at the wrong time 'by accident' so i would deffinitley buy some condoms for the next time you wish to have sex.

Pregnancy tests are not accurate at all until AFTER a missed period. So if yours isn't even due yet you cannot rely on the results of a pregnancy test.

I got a negative test result and was informed about two weeks later that I was indeed pregnant. Taking the test before your period will not give you an accurate answer.

Hi there, the pregnancy test should be fairly accurate 1 day AFTER your period is due (and that is the soonest you should take it) , the test work on a certain hormone that is released in your urine that is only present when you are pregnant.

It depends how much of this hormone you are loosing in your urine as to how accurate the test is going to be, because of this a NEGATIVE result can be incorrect, but a POSITIVE result cannot be wrong.

 

If I were you i would wait until you are 2 or 3 days late and then test again.

 

When i was pregnant I knew because my boobs were very firm and tender under the arms, this was the only early sign I had. I had many other pregnancy symptoms but not until later on, morning sickness (which I suffered with both times) doesn't usually start until you are 3 -4 weeks pregnant.

 

Hope this helps,
