My doctor told me you can have a blood test accurate the 1st day your period is late....ask yours.

A blood test is more accurate.
A blood test does not test for the same hormone as a pee test.
They test your blood for the hcg hormone and they measure how much you have. Not pregnant is like a 5. when your pregnant the number doubles every couple of days. If your at leatst 4 weeks pregnant your numbers should be close to if not in the 100s.
They normally test once and then a second time 2 days later if your numbers went up it means you have a progressing pregnancy.

Your Quantitative HCG test will show a hormone level more accurately before a urine qualitative or a blood qualitative one will, so definitely go to your doctor..., that way he can do it at let you know with a more accurate test. You don't have to be that far along, about a week for your quantitative levels to show where your pregnancy hormone(HCG) is at on the scale to say pregs or not.... Hope this is helpful good luck :)

Since you are so early in the pregnancy a blood test would be better for you. Every one is different but your doctor can test the level of the HCG(i think that is what it is called) Hormones in your blood to determine how far you should be in your pregnancy, based on the levels. He can also test it to determine if you are pregnant or not.
I hope my info helps good luck

I don't know when (if at all) is too soon for a blood test, but I do know they will detect pregnancy sooner than a home pregnancy urine test. I tested neg. for the urine tests for weeks after I thought I was pregnant, but the blood test picked it up. When was your period supposed to be?

I was able to tell with a urine test when I was four weeks... it was the ept early pregnancy test. A blood test will be able to show postive results 11 days after conception.

A blood test will show positive before a urine test will. It is a lot more sensitive. It will show positive soon after implantation.Good Luck!

Wait til you are late for your period...get a test...if that shows negative, take another in 3 days. If still negative and no period, call your OB..they will do a blood test.
But the tests you use for urine are just as sensitive as the blood tests.
