Depends which one you buy. Cheap dollar ones you would want to take after a missed period but the ones that are early detection can detect 6-7 days before missed period. It also depends on the women herself, every pregnancy and person is different.

The best one is Clearblue.I knew I was pregnant before I even took the test but I found out at 4 weeks well a few days after my missed period.Took a test and bam it came up positive.

Depends on the brand.
I tried the more expensive brand before my missed period and it said negative. I bought some from the dollar tree same day, came back positive.
I was maybe 2 weeks pregnant.

Depends on how much you want to spend on a test. I found out 4 days prior to missing my period

I found out 5 days before my period was due. I bought an early detection test, and held my bladder all night, and used the test when I went to the restroom first thing in the morning.

I was about 4 weeks pregnant with both when they showed up

I got a positive test, when I went to the doctor a week later i was 5 weeks 3 days. So mine detected at 4 weeks

Use a pink dye test, the blue dyes tend to leave evap lines making them look positive.

I found out 2 1/2 weeks early

I didn’t realize I was pregnant until the first missing period. That’s when I went and got the dollar tree. It worked. But I wasn’t like. Hoping and trying. If I was. I would go for those expensive ones I see that says can find out with few days after. And it works by detecting one hormones that we don’t have unless we are pregnant.

Mine detected pregnancy 5-6 days before my missed period.
