Detecting Pregnancy Before You Miss a Period. Women who take pregnancy tests too early often donât have high enough levels of hCG in their body for accurate detection. The most accurate time at which you could take a pregnancy test is if you take one around the time of your period. Negative results can sometimes occur because you arenât actually pregnant, or because you might be ovulating later than you think.
These tests assume a 14-day luteal phase, the time between ovulation and when you get your period. The problem is that you may have a shorter or longer luteal phase. If your luteal phase is usually 12 days, four days before your missed period would be nine days after ovulation. That's way too early to test. For you, taking the test four days before your missed period would be pointless. If you have a luteal phase of 15 days, four days before your missed period is 12 days after ovulation.
