i know it may seem way too soon but i had intercourse TWICE! unprotected 2 days ago, how soon can i check to see if im pregnant? im not due to have my period for another 3 weeks, can i check before then? also how successful are the chances having just had my period last week?

You should really wait until you miss your period to test for the results of the test to be most accurate. There are far more false negatives when testing prior to a period than after a period.

How successful? Well, that is very individual and there is no way to predict for certain whether or not you indeed got pregnant. It all depends on your cycle and when you ovulate.

Women who have a 28 day cycle typically ovulate between 12 - 14 days after the first day of their periods.

Unfortunately you are now playing the waiting game and must wait until you miss a period.

It depends on the individual women. 12-14 days is the average ovulation timing for a 28 day cycle.... however not every woman ovulates at the same time. Some ovulate immediately after their periods. some in the middle of the cycle, some at the end of the cycle, and even a rare few who ovulate while on their periods. So, like J9 said, its the waiting game now
