My doctor said a urine test is reliable only after a missed period, which is roughly two weeks or more after conception. A blood test can detect it a bit earlier, around 10-12 days. Testing too soon usually gives a false negative.

I made the mistake of testing too early and got negative, then positive later. So the wait really is needed na. Anyone else did this?

Dont test the next day yaar, the hormone needs time to rise. Wait till your period is missed for a clear home test result. Patience saves a lot of confusion.
