Best Answer

Pregnancy tests, either the at-home tests or the bloodwork done at the doctor's office, measures the presence of the hormone hCG in your blood or urine. This hormone is released after conception. A home pregnancy test can detect the hormone 7-14 days after conception, depending on how sensitive the home pregnancy test is. They typically are 97-99% effective. The best time to take the test is first thing in the morning, or to wait several hours since the last time you've urinated. Drinking large amounts of water and frequent urination can cause the test to be inaccurate. Bloodwork done at the doctor's office is considered more accurate. It can detect pregnancy 7-12 days after conception.
