When should I take a home pregnancy test? Many home pregnancy tests claim to be accurate as early as the first day of a missed period â or even before. You're likely to get more accurate results, however, if you wait until after the first day of your missed period or, better yet, one week after your missed period. Why wait?
A lot has changed with home pregnancy tests since they were first made available to consumers in the late 1970s. Todayâs pregnancy tests are less expensive, more reliable, easier to use and can detect the pregnancy hormone, hCG at very low levels. This means women can, theoretically, have a positive result on a home pregnancy test as early as the first day of a missed period.
