How many days before we know pregnancy?

We just started trying this month and honestly the wait is the hardest part. I keep wondering how soon after can it even be detected, like how many days do you have to wait before testing makes sense? pls share ur experience.

I waited till my period was about 4-5 days late and then tested, got a clear line. Before that mine was too faint to be sure.

A home urine test works best about a week after your missed period, with morning urine. A blood test can pick it up a bit earlier than the kit.

Don't rush it, the waiting feels long but a few days after your missed period gives the most accurate answer. And a blood test at the lab can confirm even sooner if you can't wait.

Usually a week after your missed period for a clear home test result.

From the tracking I did, hCG rises around 10 to 14 days after ovulation, so testing right around your missed period gives a clearer result. Too early and it's often a false negative.
