Hello!
One other question.
I took a early detection home pregnancy test 27 days after my scare. It was negative. Are those results trustworthy? Sometimes I get confused when you can take one.
Birth control: mirvala 28

27 days is just fine, although you can always test again to confirm the result if you would feel more comfortable that way. The general rule with pregnancy tests is that you need to wait at the very least two weeks after a risk, or until a period is late. (Keeping in mind that a late period is one that is at least five days later than the latest you would expect it.) However, you always want to follow the directions on the test you're using, so if it says something different, go with that.

Ok, but really it's not needed?

As Karyn said, "27 days is just fine" since that's more than 2 weeks.
