Doctors say home pregnancy tests are not at all reliable until 7-14 after conception.

+++An hpt is recommended 4 days before period is due, some on the market now are more sensitive up at 15-20 IUL, to make sure you get an accurate result best to wait until you are closer to your period or till you are at least a day late. A blood test can be taken and be accurate as soon as 6 days after fertilization.

Tests are different &women are different

Early pregnancy test can now be taken 5-4 days before period should start. If you don't know when you start your next period but you know when you had unprotected intercourse take the test 19 days after sex. If you don't know when you had unprotected sex but you know when your next period should due take the test a week after your period was supposed to start (but it didn't). If you don't know either of them wait 45 days after the first day of your LAST menstrual period.

However, the tests are MOST accurate around when your period is already 10-15 days late. Before this time you MAY get a FALSE negative result.

I had a BIG FAT POSITIVE on the morning my period was supposed to come. My friend didn't test positive until a week after.

Every women is different and we all conceive and have implantation at different times.

I hope you get the answer you wanted!

The first time you miss a period, you should go and take a pregnancy test.

Doctors say it won't be reliable for 7-14 days.

Answer

well I have taken a pregnancy test 4 days before my period is due, I tried 2 different test one day and the other the next day and they both came out positive, it just depends on the test and how sensitive it is but I will be taking another one the day my period id due just to make sure, hope this helps, and if you want to know sooner than when your period is supposed to come you can always get a blood test done!

It's Best Taking A Test 3 Weeks After You Had Unprotected Sex, But Thats Prob With A Cheap Pregnancy Test, To Get An Accurate Result You Should Work Out When Your Next Period Is Due An You Can Take It The Day After A Missed Period, If Your Period Comes That Day Your Not Pregnant Unless It's Implantation Bleeding, Which Is Much Lighter But Like The Above Says It Does Depend On How Sensitive The Test Is (:

Answer:

As above, it can depend on the test, some of the cheaper ones are rubbish and a waste of money, I would recommend clearblue or first response.
I think it's best to wait until you've missed your period before you even bother buying a test or just go to your doctors surgery and ask them to do a test.
