"For the most reliable results, it's ideal to take a pregnancy test after you've missed your period, but some tests can potentially detect pregnancy as early as 10 days after conception. Waiting until after missing a period is preferred for a more accurate result. Here's a general guide: Early detection tests may detect pregnancy 6 days before you miss a period, although results are more reliable closer to or after missing a period. The highest accuracy (over 99%) is obtained when you test on or after the day of missing a period. For best results, test in the morning, when hCG (the hormone of pregnancy) is most concentrated in your urine. For more information, you can visit Benecare Maternity Hospital."
