These tests can detect pregnancy earlier than a home pregnancy test, or about six to eight days after ovulation. But with these tests, it takes longer to get the results than with a home pregnancy test. Two types of blood pregnancy tests are available: A qualitative hCG test simply checks to see if hCG is present. Doctors often order these tests to confirm pregnancy as early as 10 days after a missed period. However, some of these tests can detect hCG much earlier. A quantitative hCG test (beta hCG) measures the exact amount of hCG in your blood.
Depending on the sensitivity of the home pregnancy urine test, you can detect pregnancy around 12-19 days after your date of ovulation. This means that women may test positive a couple of days before their missed period. In summary, it is possible to determine if you are pregnant around 9-10 days after having unprotected sex by doing a blood test for pregnancy, or after around 2 weeks (or more) using the urine test. Taking the tests too early may lead to a negative result, so you may repeat the test after a few more days. It will also help to note if you have early signs of pregnancy, although these may not be the same for every woman. Early Signs of Pregnancy
