    Sex question!
    I have been taking ovulation tests for about a month and I finally tested positive. I had intercourse to try to get pregnant during the 48 hours now how long should I wait to take a pregnancy test and be sure it will show up?

    Wait until you miss a period. Testing before that, even when the tests say they can tell is going to be a waste of money and probably end up with a false negative. If you have missed your period and you do get a negative just wait a week and retest. The levels of hcg in your urine might not be high enough to be detected as early as a single missed period. Also, use your first morning urine to test with since it will have the highest concentration of hcg in it.

    Along with Myth's answer, I would like to add...

    Do not have sex every night. That will lower the sperm count... every other night is better.
