    Perhaps, or you just had a light period.

    You now play the full month waiting game, you wait till next month and see if you miss that period or not, and then test.

    A light period so short after the sex has probably nothing to do with the sex since the menstruation (I e the blood) builds up inside the female organs for several days before the period starts. Take a test the day you expect your next period, ca 4 weeks. Good luck!

If you decide to get one, make sure you look for one that says it is accurate within the time frame that has elapsed since you had sex. Hope everything works out okay for you!

    It is a very bad idea to buy a HPT at other than a Pharmacy or a store with a Pharmacy - the "dollar" stuff is much cheaper for a variety of reasons, using involving being manufactured overseas with different testing criteria OR being stale dated.

    I've posted this before - it is better to buy one reliable HPT than two or three of the cheaper ones.

    It is also a good idea to ask your Pharmacist for a recommendation.
