Dear Ann-Marie,
It’s going to take a little while for any level of hCG (the pregnancy hormone) to show up in your system and be at a level high enough to be detected in a urine pregnancy test. I would recommend to wait to take your first home pregnancy test until October 1. That will give you about a 2 week period from the time you had sex and hopefully conceived. Are you hoping to have become pregnant from this one incident or are you regularly trying to become pregnant with having sex frequently? The latter will definitely increase your chances.
Best luck,
Hannah
