Pregnancy
I went to the gynecologist and took a pregnancy test, However I had sex the day before I took the test...I was wondering if I took a pee test if it would still give the accurate answer? Or would the results take longer than just a day..? (She told me it was negative) Today is the 4th of May and I still haven't got my period yet but the doctor also told me it could be because I am overweight...but the thing that concerns me is I never ever had an issue with my period being delayed except for one time and that is when I had birth control removed.

If you had sex the day before it would not show up.
Sperm can survive up to a week if they reach the fallopian tubes. You ovulate generally on the 14th day after your period ends.
Lets say you had sex on day eight after your period, and got tested the next day. You could (conceivably, no pun intended) not actually have your egg fertilized for another 5 or 6 days.
Once the egg is fertilized, it can take anywhere from 3 to 12 days to fully implant on your uterine wall. It is at that point that your body actually recognizes that you are pregnant and starts pumping the hormones which get recognized by the test. This is why they tell you to wait until after you miss a period, because that's a sign that your body has recognized a pregnancy.

first response is the most accurate pregnancy test. you can take it 6 days before your missed period. however, since you had sex just a few days before your period, i don't think it would be very accurate. if i were you, just wait about 2-3 more weeks, and if you still haven't gotten your period, take 3 tests this time. and since you haven't ever been late due to your weight, it may also be because you're stressing about the possibility of being pregnant, or because you are, in fact, pregnant. again, wait 2-3 weeks and then take 3 tests to be sure.
take care :)
