Home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough that they can detect a pregnancy as early as one week after fertilization. many home pregnancy kits are now more reliable and may be accurate as early as several days after a missed period. (If you usually have a regular cycle). Home pregnancy tests are most accurate about 27 days after conception. This is when a menstrual period is 10 -12 days late, although some tests do say they can be used as early as 2 days after a missed period. * Update: Some of the new pregnancy tests say you can use them one day after a missed period. If your cycle is not regular, wait another day to use it. (Or you might be wasting your money). Collect a good urine specimen. If the directions call for the use of a container, use a new or clean one. A washed-out bottle may interfere with the results. Most tests today provide a small disposable cup for you to use or you pee directly onto them. Perform the test in the morning when urine is the most concentrated. BUT, you can use them at any time of the day. (Refrain from the use of aspirin or marijuana the day before and the day of the test). Results can be one of two things: Positive. Almost always means pregnant. False positives (says pregnant when not) are very rare. Things that cause a false positive include marijuana, aspirin, hormones, Birth Control pills, methadone, tranquilizers, and soap or protein in urine. Negative. Usually means not pregnant. False negatives (says not pregnant when pregnant) are fairly common. This happens if it is too early in the pregnancy to make the results of the home test accurate. If you suspect you are pregnant even though a home pregnancy test is negative, you should have a pelvic exam by a GYN health care provider and blood test or repeat the urine test in a couple days. Remember, you can be pregnant and have no symptoms at all, except missing you period. If you have had sex without using birth control and are worried you might be pregnant, talk with a health care provider or with a counselor at your clinic.

How many weeks does it take after conception to test positive on a blood pregnancy test?
It typically takes about 1-2 weeks after conception for a blood pregnancy test to detect the hormone hCG, which is produced during pregnancy.
Can a pregnancy test be negative at five weeks pregnancy Is there a chance that a pregnancy test cannot detect hCg levels at five weeks pregnancy?
First thing to do is not to stress because stress can make u miss ur period. At five weeks u can detect hcg, u can detect it on a home pregnancy test at 2 weeks. you can be pregnant and not test positive on urine tests because the hcg is not spilling in your urine the only way to find out for sure is a blood test!!! good luck!!
Can the pregnancy hormone be to low to detect in the first few weeks in some women?
no
Can pregnancy detect in week after intercourse?
No, you need to wait 14 days (two weeks) after intercourse to determine pregnancy.
Can a pregnant test tell you if you are pregnant in two day after intercourse?
No pregnancy test can detect pregnancy that early. It takesabout 2 weeks for your body to produce the hormone that would test you as positive.
How soon after sex will a home urine test detect pregnancy?
3 weeks after sex
How many weeks does it take to know that your pregnant?
This will generally depend on the test that is used to detect a pregnancy. Blood tests are more accurate in that they can detect a pregnancy earlier. As soon as two weeks after a missed period, blood tests can detect levels of Hcg (the hormone pregnant females produce). Urine pregnancy tests generally do not detect a pregnancy before the 6th week because sometimes it takes that long for Hcg levels to rise to the point where a urine test will be sensitive enough to detect it.
How early should you be able to detect pregnancy in the urine?
5 days before your period is due, or at about 5 or 6 weeks of pregnancy
Is HCG pregnancy test a reliable pregnancy test for a 15-day delayed period?
If your period is more than 2 weeks late, yes an HCG blood test will certainly be able to detect the pregnancy hormone. Home pregnancy tests will work as well.
If a women can find out she's pregnant after 2 weeks of sex then why do the pregnancy tests not allow you to take it until your first missed period?
Home pregnancy tests detect hormone levels in your urine. Those hormones take a few days to show up. Home pregnancy tests are becoming much more sophisticated, and are able to detect pregnancy sooner and sooner.
If pregnancy is suspected will a pap smear show before 3 weeks gestation?
A pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. It doesn't detect pregnancy.
Could you be showing already your are 4 weeks pregnant with your fourth child?
Not exactly. At four weeks, you are just able to detect pregnancy though your pregnancy hormone levels. Your embryo is about the size of a period at the end of a sentence (" . ").
