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.)

Usually the best time is when you have missed your period then a pregnancy test is the first thing or if you want to know before that you can get early pregnancy tests you can do 4 days before you are due just read the box and it will tell you! Good luck!

usually it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the HCG hormone to be detected in the urine if you are pregnant, but usually much sooner in a blood test. Take a pregnancy test in the morning after you wake up when the HCG hormones are the highest.

As soon as you miss your period, sometimes a couple of days before.
