My LMP was 1 Sept, i had unprotected sex ( and used withdrawl method) on 13 Sept. my period cycle is average 28 - 29 days. My period is due on 28 - 30 Sept.

I have done a quantative blood test ( shows exact amount of HCG in blood) today which is considered 9 days from the intercourse. The test dected No HCG in blood, which means (-)

*My question*

Do i need to re-test again? i mean are 9 days after sex enough for the HCG to be produced in the blood and dectect pregnancy or it's still early??? i wish the test i did is accurate, but still i need to hear your opinion and advice from you poeple out there and from those who have experience/knowlegde in such matters.

Thxs in advance

Dear Confused, Looking at the extreems, since ovulation/conception could occur 4 days subsequent to intercourse and implantation may occur, 3-10 days later, it's possible that implantation has not occured yet, and thus a - Quantative HCG, although "LATE" implantation greater than 9DPO are less successful, you still could be pregnant. Today was about as early as you might get a + result, since you didn't get it you will have to repeat test closer to your expected period. Marie
