Both blood and urine pregnancy tests check for the presence of a chemical called human chorionic gonadotropin, which is produced during a pregnancy. Waiting two weeks post conception (one the first day of a missed period) is recommended, but positive results can be detected as early as one week after conception. After a pregnancy has been detected by a blood or urine test, your doctor will request an ultrasound to confirm that a live embryo is present. Ultrasounds can first be seen at five weeks pregnancy and an embryo and heart beat can be detected by six weeks.
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.It can find even very low levels of hCG.hese 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.
