Fortunately, you no longer have to wait until you miss your period to take a pregnancy test and possibly receive accurate results. There are many pregnancy tests on the market today that allow you to test up to six days before your period is due. However, most tests are accurate about two weeks after possible conception. Note, possible conception could be anytime between about one and five days after sex, depending on when you had sex in your fertile window in relation to ovulation. This is because sperm can live in the female reproductive tract for up to five days and the egg can survive for about 12-24 hours after ovulation.
Approximately four days after fertilization, the egg will start to produce a pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hGC). A pregnancy test will detect this hormone about one week after fertilization. Most women tend to wait to take a pregnancy test until after they have missed one menstrual period. If you take a pregnancy test one week after you were supposed to get your period, the result will be about 95% accurate. If you take it too soon after fertilization, it may show up negative when in fact you really are pregnant. Pregnancy test are meant to be considered screening tests.
