How Long Does It Take For Pregnancy Symptoms To Begin?

I am 16 years old and I'm afraid I might be pregnant. The last time I've had intercourse was two weeks ago and I can't wait until my next period because I only get my period every three months. I am not able to go to a free clinic. How long does it take for me to notice if I am pregnant or not?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You had history of unprotected sexual intercourse....

So pregnancy should be ruled out here...

After three week of last LMP you can detect pregnancy by blood hcg estimation... It is somewhat costly

If you can wait then after five week of last LMP pregnancy can be detected by urine hcg card test which is not costly

Choose any one of the above method.

If urgent detection needed then serum hcg estimation done

If hcg positive then for further confirmation USG can be done

Take care

Hope your concern solved

Consult gynecologist for examination for your irregular delayed period
