Home pregnancy tests are considered accurate 14 to 16 days after ovulation. A blood test from a Dr is considered accurate 10-14 days after ovulation.
You should take a pregnancy test shortly after your missed period. That is when a home pregnancy test is most effective. Although I have heard you can do a blood test at the doctor as soon as 2 weeks before your missed period.
Get yourself to a clinic and take a proper test. The home preggo tests are not always to be trusted, especially if they say negative.
Pregnancy tests work by analysing the amount of pregnancy hormone present in your body. Generally, a urine pregnancy test is less accurate for two reasons: a) the hormone is being detected through urine, which can alter moreso than blood, depending on how much water you drink and whether or not you use first morning urine (first morning urine is better for pregnancy tests). b) the pregnancy test itself isn't as detailed and reliable as an analysed blood test. The moment the sperm fertilises the egg, the hormone pregnancy starts circulating in your blood. A blood pregnancy test ought to give clear results within a couple of days. Your GP may want to take more bloods a week or so afterwards to verify the result.
Most pregnancy tests test for the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in the woman's blood or urine. Ectopic pregnancies are usually picked up by home pregnancy tests however it is possible that do to lower levels of hCG that sometimes result from ectopic pregnancies you could get a false negative. Ectopic pregancies can potentially become very dangeros, if you suspect that you may have an ectopic pregnancy even if a home pregnancy test is negative, it would be wise to see a physician.

Modern home pregnancy tests are pretty accurate and can detect the chemical markers for pregnancy about 6-12 days after conception. There are (more expensive, laboratory only) tests that are able to detect pregnancy as little as 48 hours after conception. If you're asking how long it takes to take the test ... not long at all, maybe 15 minutes.
Most pregnancy tests (including e.p.t®) can be used as early as 4 days before an expected period.
No
wait till a few hours or the day after you had sex and get a couple pregnancy tests.
one will work but you can take as many as you want
Most pregnancy tests can detect the pregnancy hormone, hCG, in urine after about 7-10 days from conception. It is recommended to wait until the first day of a missed period to take a pregnancy test for more accurate results.
I always pass the tests that I take, even the pregnancy and STD tests (joking).
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.

Pregnancy tests are devices that measure the chemicals in your body. During pregnancy there is a presense of or increase in some natural chemicals, which are used to determine if you are pregnant. The pregnancy test will measure the balance of these chemicals and gives you a reading. These tests however, can have altered results based upon when you take it. I believe the best time to take a pregnancy test is 4-6 weeks after fertilization[the point when the spem meets the egg]
Considering home pregnancy tests can detect it up to five days before your missed period, you can take one as soon as you realize you're late.
One week.
