Question
dear sir
iwant to know after sex how much take time to get pregnant and i also want to know what is symtoms of pregnancy and how i know that lady is now pregnant.
Dear Hari,
It usually takes two weeks after the incident for a pregnancy test (urine) to turn positive. This would be a few days after the missed period. At that point you would know she is pregnant. Usually pregnancy symptoms don't start until 2-6 weeks after the missed period- the first symptoms are usually nausea.
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
