Answer
Dear Ashley,

If you believe you are approximately 2 weeks late for your period, and your unprotected sexual encounter was 4 weeks ago, that would have been right around the time you would have been ovulating and the most fertile. So the possibility of pregnancy is fairly high.

I would recommend that you go ahead and test for pregnancy. At 2 weeks after a missed period, you should test positive if you are pregnant. Make sure to use 1st morning urine to get a concentrated sample for the most accurate results.

I hope this information has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well.
