Im too impatient yaar, we just started trying and i want to know the earliest point pregnancy can actually be picked up. Like how soon is too soon to even check?
Okay, so earliest you can test is usually 10-14 days post conception, or around the time your period is missed. A home pregnancy test is your first step. If that's positive, then your gynac can do a blood test (beta-hCG) which is even more sensitive and accurate very early on. Don't wait, just get the home kit.
See, you can pick up a home pregnancy test kit from any chemist, they are quite affordable, maybe ₹50-₹100. Most accurate results come a few days after your missed period. Don't rush to the doctor for just a check, wait for a positive home test first to save on consultation fees. Then confirm with blood test.
Ammamma used to tell stories about small signs, but modern times are different. You can usually detect it with a home pregnancy test about 10-14 days after conception, or around the time your period is due. For sure-sure, you need to visit the doctor, they can confirm with a blood test even earlier.
Generally, a home pregnancy test can give you a positive result about a week after conception, or right around your missed period. For earlier and more accurate confirmation, your doctor can do a blood test, which can detect pregnancy even sooner. Just get a good quality home kit first.
