If I'm pregnant how far along do I have to be before my hormone level is high enough to tell?

Answer 1

Usually the best time to test is after the first day of your missed period. There are some tests you can take a day or two before your period, but I would wait until you have at least missed one day. Just to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

It depends of the test. If you're taking a HPT you need to wait at least 14 days, (your HCG levels need to be at least 40-50 mIU/ml in order to be detected).

A blood test (made at the doctor's office) can detect your HCG levels when they're much lower, so you'll probably need 3 days after the conception in order to get a + result. Any number above 5 mIU/ml is considered as "pregnant".

But the doctors usually do a blood test after you get a + result on a HPT.

Answer 3

I started getting positives on home pregnancy tests 11 days after ovulation, so 3 days before my period was due. If you want to test early, you need to buy a sensitive test. I have had the best luck with First Response Early Response tests.

Answer 4

with a blood test (3 weeks) in other words that would be 1 week before your period,and with a home pregnancy test(4 weeks)that would be the day of ur missed period,however this mostly worked if ur cycle is every 28 days,dont follow the test that say u can test up to 5 days before ur period is due,if u read the fine print on the box u will see that its bullcrap....good luck! if ur trying to conceive,or if ur already pregnant.

Answer 5

it should start soon after you conceve but the best time to take the testis the day of or after you should start your period and do it first thing in the morning the first time you pee thats when your hormone levels will be the hisest

Answer 6

Most tests nowadays can tell within a few days of conception. You don't have to wait till morning either.

Answer 7

Not sure... Everybodys bodies are different ..... I tested positive when I was a week late.
