A home pregnancy test. She can test now or wait and see if she doesn't get her period. If she doesn't get her period, it's likely that she is pregnant. Testing a home is a good idea or getting a free test done at Planned Parenthood. If she tests at PP, there will be professionals there to talk to her about her options if she is pregnant (keeping it, adoption or abortion) or if she tests negative, they will talk to her about safe sex (condoms and contraceptives).\n\n If I were you, I'd encourage her to get on 'the pill' as well as use condoms EVERY TIME! You have to worry not only about pregnancy, but sexually transmitted infections which can be minor and easily treated or something more serious like HIV. Even virgins can have STI's, so I'd definitely get to Planned Parenthood or a local sexual health clinic for STI testing. \n\nAnother answerer suggested "the morning after pill" or Plan B, but since you had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago, it is too late for that. Plan B is not an abortion pill and will not harm a pregnancy already in progress. Plan B simply stops a woman from ovulating and may stop implantation if there is a fertilised egg. Sperm can live in a womans body for up to 5 days and this is why Plan B works. Typically pregnancy does not occur instantly after sex. If you had unprotected sex with your girlfriend yesturday and she ovulated today, she could become pregnant today without having sex today. \n\nGood Luck!

it depends upon when you had your last test and whether you had sex after your test.

There are pregnancy test that can tell you like the day after you get pregnant.

You need to wait at least 10 days after having sex, but I'd say wait 2 weeks. The sooner you take it, the more chances there is of getting a false negative.

You might be pregnant but it may not show on the test. Go for it.\nBy the way, you're pregnant from the moment of conception.

usually one to two days after your missed period. depending on what kind of pregnancy test you get. i think ept has one that can detect as early as the first day of you missed period. just read the boxes.

Pregnancy can now be detected 72 hours after fertilisation, but sperm can live for 3 days before attaching itself to the egg, so in answer, no. You can tell up to 6 days after. Hope this helps.

You will need to take a pregnancy test. If it has been at least 2 weeks since you had unprotected sex, you can take the test now and may get a result indicating pregnancy. Continue to test until you get a postitive or you get your period. While some women experience bleeding that they confuse to be a period early during pregnancy, it is impossible to menstrate and stay pregnant so, if your period comes as normal, no worries. Do use proper contraception from now on unless you want to become pregnant. It's just stupid not to use contraception. \n\nImplantation spotting may or may not be a myth. It is undetermined. Spotting inbetween periods can be a sign of other things such as stress, change of diet, illness or even starting an exercise regime. Definitely talk to your doctor at your next appointment because it can also be caused by infections or certain types of cancers, but is most often nothing to worry about.

if the intercourse performed is unsafe then woman can get pregnant otherwise not. therefore use any of these things: male condoms, female condoms, other precations etc. take good care and perform safe sex for 3to 4 days after periods.

If you had sex two weeks ago you can take a pregnancy test now to ease your mind, as you've passed the time when implantation of a pregnancy would occur.  To answer your question about when your period should come, it's hard to say because your cycle is now off due to your starting and then stopping the patch.  But it really doesn't matter, since a pregnancy test at this point should be accurate; if you have a real reason to believe you might be pregnant (i.e. the sex you had was unprotected), you might as well take a test.

Eleven days is a long time, tell her to take a test. Use the first urine of the day, it has the most beta-hcg which is the hormone that sustains pregnancy and makes the pregnancy test positive. \n\nIf she isn't pregnant. It could be worrying (stress), or change in diet/exercise. Best of luck to both of you.

The pregnancy test called "First Response" is highly accurate and very sensitive.  It can detect the presence of the pregnancy hormone, Beta HCG almost immediately following conception.\n\nI'll note, however, that the line for a positive might be quite faint at the early stages and could easily be seen as a (false) negative.\n\nThe best test at this stage would be a blood test (check women's clinics) called "HCG qualitative".  That would be absolutely accurate.

It depends on the test you are going to use. If you use the early tests, they can detect hCG as early as a few days before your missed period. Your monthy cycle provides that the best time to get pregnant are 2 days before and 1 day after ovulation.  Your period would not normally occur until 2 weeks after ovulation. \nIn short, no, hCG will not be detected on todays pregnancy tests 3 days after sex. It is advisable to wait until your missed period and after... Be sure that you pay close attention to the directions on birth control tests b/c not all of them can detect the hormone as early as others. Good luck!

I really doubt that you are pregnant but stranger things have happened.  If your period started, just shortly after you had sex, you were already past your fertile period.\n\nWait about a week and do a home pregnancy test...follow the directions exactly.  If you are still worried, see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test.

The ovulation symptoms would have been about  2 weeks after your last period.  You can take a preg. test the first day of your missed period.
