    The standard method of detecting a pregnancy is to measure the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in blood or urine. hCG is produced by the placenta during a pregnancy.

    Blood tests can give a positive result earlier than a urine test ("home pregnancy test"), around a week after conception. In urine, a sufficient increase in hCG can be detected after appx. ten days.

    That's as far as the facts take us. Another fact to take into account is, however, that 25% of all pregnancies result in miscarriages, and that the majority of these are very early. Before testing early, make sure you can handle the psychological strain. Do you really need to test before you see the first physical symptoms?

    for a 76% correct answer, you can go up to 5 days before the expected period. otherwise you can take it on the first day of the missed cycle.

    I wouldn't worry about it, dear. From what I already know about you, the results won't matter anyway.

    I ovulated a week later this cycle, how soon can you tell if I am pregnant. I heard it can take 7-12 days for a home pregnancy test to show up positive. Is that true?

    On the day after my period my husband came inside me because i told him he could do it, i was of the impression i could not get pregnant on the day after my period because that was the safe period. Now its a week after and i am experiencing a slight belly ache and a lil bit of nausia. Could i be pregnant? how can i tell? can i take a pregnancy test now and it would be accurate? or do i have to wait until i miss my period?
