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.
Pregnancy tests will catch less than 70% of pregnancies at 4 days before a period. A few things to understand about pregnancy tests. When they say you can test up to 5 days before a missed period, that means 4 days before your period is due. That number is based on an average luteal phase (the time between ovulation and the first day of your period) of 14 days. Which means those tests recommend testing no sooner than 10 days past ovulation.
