answered question 7/3/2008 I Had Sex A Week Before My Period. An I Am Used To Having A 5 Day Period. This Time I Had A 3 Day Period. Could I Be Pregnant? I Took A Test 5 Days After I Had Sex. I very much doubt it because you have had your period, although pregnancy will not pick up on a test until about 4 weeks after conception because your HCG levels are not high enough. If your next period doesn't come, then test again.
