When Is The Right Time To Take Pregnancy Test?

Hi about 2 days ago i had unprotected sex, the guy pulled out but im worried that i could get pregnant from the pre cum. I went and took the positioner 1 morning after pill then on Saturday i went to the shops to get a pregnancy test and i took it at the shop. It came back as negative but im still worried i am pregnant because i haven t got my period yet. I have just been getting diarrhoea, feeling sick every now and then like i need to vomit but i cant and i get sore breast. When can i take another pregnancy test because im really stressed and worried that the pill hasnt worked

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description, it appears that you are unnecessarily taking too much stress. Kindly relax for now.
Chances of getting pregnant by sperms present in pre-ejaculate fluid is very less. Also, you need not worry much about it as you have taken emergency contraceptive pill within the time it needs to be taken.
Pregnancy test would come positive when urine is tested after about 10 days when you miss your period.
Since you have taken Postinor, the pill should prevent pregnancy by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake.
If bleeding doesn't take place by 3 weeks, you need to take urine pregnancy test and seek medical attention promptly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
