how far along in pregnancy do you have to be before you'll get a postive test?

Question

and does it matter if you do a blood or urine test?

i'd be about 11 days along. i was fertile on the day of conception...hopefully

Answer 1

Some people can get a positive in as little as 10 days post ovulation, but waiting to test until at least 14+ days post ovulation or when you have missed your period would be more accurate.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

It makes a huge difference what kind of test. A blood test can most likely tell you within 7-10 days after sex, while a urine test usually has to be at least 14 days or so. I was 3 weeks along twice and got a + test.

Answer 3

A test turns positive when it picks up enough hcg in the blood and urine. With my son, my blood test came back positive at four weeks (a few days before my period was due). With this one, I used the clearblue digital test 5 days after my period was due, and it was positive. So it just depends on when your blood and urine have enough hcg.

Answer 4

I think I asked the doctor this and she said you have to be pregnant for at least two weeks for a urine test from the drs office to pick it up

Answer 5

well the blood test is more accurate in early pregnancy less than 2 weeks and the urine is accurate wen your about 2wks or more

Answer 6

a blood test is more accurate..but with a urine test i would atleast wait a couple days after your missed period

Answer 7

with a first response pregnancy test I found out 2 days before i was due for my period

Answer 8

It has been scientificly tested that it takes about 1week.
try watching discovery health more because I know this and I'm 12.
not to be rude or anything.

Answer 9

I was 4 weeks when I found out I was pregnant.

Answer 10

depends when you fertalized. i would wait a week after your missed period and get a clinical test. those always work better. waiting a week after your missed period is recommended.
