I found out i was pregnant 7 days before my period was due by the using the home pregnancy test "Answer"
So if you are pregnant it will show up on a test.
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.)

Remember though that all women are different and we all produce different levels of HCG. If you're producing less (which isn't uncommon) then it will be negative no matter what since that is all it tests. Ive heard plenty of stories that even blood tests were neg. because they didnt produce enough HCG.
If your having symptoms and really think you could be PG and all tests come out neg, get a cervical exam. Its 100% accurate. But you have to be about 2 or 3 months along.

I took a pregnancy test at 3 weeks & it showed as positive. My doctor said if I wasn't a crazy person & took tests all the time that I wouldn't have even suspected that I was pregnant yet. But I knew I was. My stomach felt tight; like I was doing situps at times. Anyway, Take a test; if it's negative no worries, it all depends on your body & your hormone levels. If this is something you want good luck.

Go with a Ept test.
This pregnancy tests can usually detect hCG 8-11 days after ovulation, thats a couple of days before your period is due.

It shows up very quickly and would be positive by now if you are pregnant. Have you done a home pregnancy test?

Yes it would normally by now. Their are very rare occasions when it does not but that is rare. If un sure get a blood test.

A blood test is more accurate.
