OBGYNs typically don't do pregnancy tests until your period is 2 weeks late. This is because many pregnancies do not last past the 1st week or so, and OBGYNs treat viable pregnancies. Before the availability of home pregnancy tests, most women did not know they had an early miscarriage.

With home pregnancy tests, you can test as soon as it is time for your period. This is because once the egg is fertilized and implants into the uterine lining, there is a new hormone released. The pregnancy test shows if that hormone is present. Without that hormone being present, the uterine lining sheds and you have your period.

Thus, you can know you are pregnant as soon as you expect your period.

There are pregnancy tests out there that can tell you if your pregnant as early as one day after your missed period.

Some of the new tests say they can tell you in 2-5 days, but they aren't accurate. For an accurate test wait until you miss a cycle ( about 3 weeks) and then do a test.
