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.)
I took a pregnancy test 7 full days before my period was due and got a positive and yes i was pregnant! The brand i used first was "Answer" (My fave) and then i took a clearblue easy one that same night and it said the same but it was faint wheras the answer one was very bold.

I took a test a day before my missed period and it read positive, so I was about 4 weeks pregnant when I found out.

I was 6 weeks. I was taking tests before and they didn't show positive until almost 7 weeks.

Some kits can tell 5 days before your missed period, .....better to wait longer though, so you get an accurate result.

About 3 weeks from your last period.

It's not weeks, but days. Usually about 3-5. Otherwise it's after you first miss your period.
