I tested 2 weeks before my cycle and got a faint line with my 2nd daughter

Depends on the test but usually within a few weeks.

Read the damn box :woman_facepalming:t3:

7 days if it’s a blood test. For an urine test you have to wait 2 or 3 weeks.

Usually some point after you’ve had sex.

I took two the day I was supposed to get my period and both came back positive and also confirmed through a blood test.

some claim can detect a full 7 days before you start.

I literally found out with my third child at 3 weeks pregnant. Which means I technically had only been pregnant for about a week. I found out with my other two at about 4 weeks pregnant. Which means I had only actually been pregnant for two weeks.

5 days before your missed period

Just practice good healthy habits & don’t stress out about finding out your pregnant ! with my first pregnancy I was 4 months before I missed a period.

I found out at 3 weeks after trying for a year

Depends on the test. They usually say on the box/leaflet

The day after pill is usually a safer bet than waiting on a pregnancy test

Around 3 weeks for at home pregnancy tests, however I’d wait another week or two if the first comes negative due to HCG levels but a blood test at the doctors can determine within the first week

My periods&ovulation aren’t regular but when i tested positive, i went to the doc the next day and got a due date, but after first ultrasound we found out i wasnt as far along as they thought and i somehow literally caught my pregnancy on a dollar tree test at 2 weeks pregnant :flushed:

I was about 5 weeks when I tested. Urine and blood test.

Depends on the test. I’ve had them work as soon as one week and as late as 8 weeks

Mine showed positive about 10 days after conception, before I was late for my period.

I took a test right after I missed my period and it was positive.

Mine was about 30 min after sex. Funny thin my ex and I had blue eyes blonde hair. The baby was black with nappy hair. Ex said it was the black coffee. Idk.

I thought it was 2 weeks

I found out at 2 weeks with 3/4 of my kids.

I found out 5 days later with my second child. I really wanted another baby, so I bought 7 tests one for each day and it took 5 tests.

Mine showed up positive when I was only 2 weeks along.

I tested 6 days after my expected period that didnt come.

If you know when you ovulated, I’ve seen women get positive tests at 8 days past ovulation which is technically 2 days pregnant. I always waited until the day my period was due to test.

Are you asking for a freind?

My first one I was 6 weeks when I found out. My second one I found out 2 days after I was late. My last one I knew I was pregnant and went literally 19 days after conception and it came back positive in less than a minute.

First week with blood test

Get the easyhome kit on Amazon with the ovulation strips and pregnancy … works awesome !

7days. Hug levels are present at 1 week

Mine was positive the day my period was due.

I have 2 kids already but it was easy for me to know I was pregnant with them this time around it’s been more difficult and my period app is saying 24 days late

Try 5 days before you miss your first period

Miy first pregnancy got a positive after only 3 weeks, I wasn’t even late yet… Just had a craving and got curious… Second pregnancy got picked up at the hospital at 26 weeks, no simptoms so I didn’t think to test… It depends on hoe strong your hormone levels are and how sensitive the test is

Most of them are accurate 4 days before your expected period date.

If you had sex last valentines then start buying pregnancy test now. Mwwwah kid!

Depends on the test.

I found out 3 weeks after conception.

Many of the newer urine tests will detect urine hcg within 7 days from conception.

I was 1 day late getting my period and got a positive test, I think it just depends on your body.

I was only 2 weeks along. I took the test for shits and giggles cause someone told me to take one that I looked pregnant. I didn’t believe them and wanted to prove them wrong. Well. That’s not how that happened I got proved wrong

I took a ¢88 one just a day after I missed my period haha

Supposed to be like 2 weeks before your missed period. But that’s a lie. I didn’t show on a home test with my last until i was in my second trimester. Every test before that was inconclusive.

3 weeks i used a clear blue :blush:

I went off the basis that it takes 5 weeks for it to show up in your urine. I knew at 5 weeks I was pregnant. But I was also trying.

My ex wife knew she was knocked up soon as I got off her.:crazy_face:

It also depends on what test your using

Best time to check is right after a missed period or couple days before your next period. If you check too early it might not show up.

First response claims they can determine a pregnancy up to 5 days before a missed period. I found out with 2 of my pregnancies before my period was even due.

2 weeks after missed period

You’re asking this on FB lol

The earliest is 3 days the latest is 2 weeks

I was less than a week late

To avoid a false negative it’s best to wait till after your period is 1 week late

Depends on the test. Some can detect as soon as the first day you miss your period.

Depends with my first I still had a period till i was 9 months

Usually it’s 2 weeks. If you want to know sooner idk if a blood test would show it or not.

3 weeks I say if your baby daddy an old man you know the older you are the slower your worms move.
