HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible to conceive with sexual intercourse a week before periods.

A pregnancy test would be needed to determine if she has conceived.

Pregnancy tests detect the HCG hormone and this is detectable by day 11 to 14 after conception.

Since this time frame has passed, she can do a test and should get an accurate result.

I hope this helps
