How soon can you take a home pregnancy test to tell if are pregnant?

Home pregnancy tests can vary in detecting hCG levels of the earliest stages of pregnancy. Most tests can be typically taken a few days before a missed period or around 10-12 days after ovulation. However, the accuracy increases as you wait closer to the expected period date or a few days after.

Different brands of home pregnancy tests have varying sensitivities, so check the instruction included in the test kit for the most accurate information on when to take it. If the test results come as negative and you suspect you might still be pregnant, it's recommended to wait a few more days and retest to get more accurate results.
