Are you asking how soon after sex the egg is fertilized or how soon after sex a test will show positive?

If it's the first question, if there is an egg present, the sperm can fertilize it within a matter of hours. If it's the second question, about two weeks after sex a test will show positive if you are in fact pregnant.

hi there tlkittycat1968

I'm sure that this is a good question. But I just posted a question and I need to know. I just posted a question and it seems like I'm getting the run around.

Do you know how long does it take for the morning after pill to take affect? And if it's not working what signs or symptoms will let you know that the pill did or didn't work.

I tell you the times that we have and what day I took the morning after pill. i know that me and my husband had sex twice day since the 2nd of this month and we've been separated since nov. 16th of this year. and he is the only one that I've done anything with plus I'm clean I've just recently been tested on std that the er is able to do.
