Douching after having unprotected sex will not protect against pregnancy, nor will it help prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Birth Control is the only reliable method of preventing pregnancy, and safe sex (condoms) are the best protection from STD's.
No. Douching will not effect a pregnancy test, testing too soon can cause a false negative. If you followed all the directions and the test is negative wait 3 or 4 days, if your period doesn't start take the test again, by then you will know it has been enough time for accurate results.
Douching while pregnant cannot harm the baby directly, however douching can sometimes lead to yeast infections. Yeast infections also do not harm the baby directly, however they can get thrush (yeast infection in their mouth) if you give birth while infected.
