There are two types of pregnancy tests available though your Dr, blood and urine. Blood tests can show positive 8-10 days past ovulation and urine tests are most reliable 14-16 days past ovulation.

It takes roughly 24 hours for sperm to travel to the egg and fertilize it and then another week or so for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus and implant in the uterine wall. Once implanted, it begins to form the placenta, which is what produces HCG, the hormone that pregnancy tests look for, even the bloodtest that you get at the doctor's office.

How many weeks does it take to know that your pregnant?

This will generally depend on the test that is used to detect a pregnancy. Blood tests are more accurate in that they can detect a pregnancy earlier. As soon as two weeks after a missed period, blood tests can detect levels of Hcg (the hormone pregnant females produce). Urine pregnancy tests generally do not detect a pregnancy before the 6th week because sometimes it takes that long for Hcg levels to rise to the point where a urine test will be sensitive enough to detect it.

How long do you have tafter your missed period do you have to wait to take a pregnancy test?

You can do a blood test which can detect pregnancy as soon as a week after fertilization. Home tests are usually not as accurate until 4 days before your period is due but some are more sensitive and can detect pg earlier. So to answer the question you can do a any of them as soon as you are late.
