How soon can I test? Well, first you gotta know how the test works. Briefly: the home pregnancy test (HPT) works by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG.) When an egg is fertilized, it takes about 6 to 12 days to implant in the uterus, and then it begins to secrete hCG. It takes another day or two for enough hCG to build up and make its way into your pee. So, generally speaking, the earliest you can expect a positive HPT is 8 days past ovulation ("DPO") and the latest would be about 16 DPO. It is possible to get a positive test earlier or later, but not as common. In my experience, if you use a sensitive "early" test (anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG or less) you can test around 12-14 DPO and feel reasonably secure with your results (the later you test, the more secure you can feel in its accuracy.)
If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

Ok, if you are trying to get pregnant you are going to be ovulating tomorow. That means you need to start having sex pronto and lots of it for tonight tomorow and the next day. then you wait 2 weeks and take a home pregnancy test. if you get a early detection one you can test in a week and a half.
Good luck!

Nothing can be done now. You can go for urine test for pregnancy after 10 days from the due date.

I myself have never been pregnant but I know that you can use PCT its a home pregnancy test or you could always call the doctor and go to an appointment.

you might talk to your doc about a blood test, but they might refuse since it is so early......not sure if it would be accurate this soon anyways. Keep busy and try not to think about the next few weeks.
