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.
In general, blood tests are more sensitive than urine tests and can be done two days before a woman would expect her period to start. A urine or blood hCG test can be done reliably by 10 days after a missed menstrual period. Even using a urine test, a woman may be able to determine whether she is pregnant the day she misses her period, but the result could be falsely negative.
