Home pregnancy tests are able to detect the pregnancy hormone hCG up to 5 days before your missed period. So the earliest you could possibly get a true reading from the test is 5 days before you start (or would have started if you end up being pregnant) your period.

the test say you can take it so many days before your missed period etc but your best chance at getting a more accurate answer is waiting six weeks i know its a long time but six weeks after you think you got pregnant is alot more time for the hcgs to go up and show on a test lol

Even if you get the most sensitive test out there, you have to have a buildup of the right hormone before anything will show up- which can take 6-8 days after conception, and conception doesn't necessarily mean intercourse...

It is possible to get an early result, but only about 4 or 5 days earlier than your missed period at best.

So for an accurate result - give it two weeks.
