Home pregnancy tests can be used on the first day of a missed menstrual period. However, the test results are more accurate if you wait a few days longer. If you do the test as soon as you have missed a period and the results show you are not pregnant (negative results), repeat the test in 1 week if your menstrual period has not started, or have a pregnancy test done at your health professional's office or a clinic.Home pregnancy tests are sensitive enough that they can detect a pregnancy as early as one week after fertilization. Update, June 2006, many home pregnancy kits are now more reliable and may be accurate as early as several days after a missed period. (If you usually have a regular cycle).
Home pregnancy tests are most accurate about 27 days after conception. This is when a menstrual period is 10 -12 days late, although some tests do say they can be used as early as 2 days after a missed period. * Update: Some of the new pregnancy tests say you can use them one day after a missed period. If your cycle is not regular, wait another day to use it. (Or you might be wasting your money)Many home pregnancy tests (HPTs) claim to be 99% accurate on the day you miss your period. But research suggests that most HPTs do not consistently spot pregnancy that early. And when they do, the results are often so faint they are misunderstood. If you can wait one week after your missed period, most home pregnancy tests will give you an accurate answer. Ask your doctor for a more sensitive test if you need to know earlier.

3-5 days on average depending on the brand you use. some are more accurate for less time but the longest that has been advertised is 5 days within your missed period. If you aren't sure about the at home test results ask a doctor to do a blood test.

there are some that are accurate the first day however the accuracy percentage goes up with each additional day. read the labels before you buy. if you take birth control pills wait at least 3-4 days, you can get a false positive because of the hormones in the pill. it happened to my best friend

its conceivable, some human beings dont discover out they are pregnant until a minimum of 6 weeks long gone it is oftentimes while youre approximately 2 weeks previous due. retest in some days if its nonetheless destructive then bypass on your well being care provider and get a blood attempt achieved.
