How long do you have to wait to take a pregnancy test?

Answer 1

Wait a full missed cycle. I know the test kits tell you that they can give a reading in 2 days, but the hormone they test for takes a cycle to build up and you are apt to get a false reading with an eariler test. Save your money and do it after you have missed one cycle.
14 weeks after intercourse is the most accurate date for determining pregnancy with a home pregnancy test.

Answer 2

Most pregnancy tests can determine pregnancy within 7-10 days of conception. I waited a month before I took the test just to make sure. I knew when i first got pregnant. Use your instincts. A woman knows whether she is pregnant or not. So Good luck

Answer 3

It depends on which test you buy. Some say as early as 5 days before your missed period. However, even if these tests are taken prior to a missed period, the results can be incorrect. It seems as if the odds of having a correct result are higher if you wait until after your missed period.

Answer 4

most pregnancy tests can be used the a after a missed period. each test will tell you when you can use the test from. or ask at a pharmacy.

Answer 5

you should wait 2 weeks most times, it depends on what brand of pregnancy test you buy

Answer 6

To be sure you can try after a week.
