How long after having intercourse will a home pregnancy test produce accurate results?


I recently had my IUD removed. I never had a normal period when I had it. Aside from a little over a week of heavy bleeding after it's removal, and then again a couple weeks later, I have only had one normal period since. I do not remember the date that it started and have no idea when I might have ovulated, I only know the dates that my husband and I had intercourse.

KBKeety 		usually about 3-4 weeks will be the most accurate results.

consulting a doctor will be more accurate because they can do blood tests and better detect if you are pregnant

KBKeety 		Try 2-3 weeks after you had intercourse, if you are pregnant this should allow enough time for the hCG hormone to show up.

KBKeety 		i too, recently had an iud removed and didn't have normal cycles. i had some heavy bleeding after removal...which i'm pretty sure was my period. i had the iud removed oct.19, AF on oct. 21 positive pregnancy test on nov. 15!! that was only 11 days after intercourse!! not every woman will get an accurate result that early though. there is a wide range of what is considered normal. check out my source for an hcg chart.
