Best Answer

Pregnancy tests are devices that measure the chemicals in your body. During pregnancy there is a presense of or increase in some natural chemicals, which are used to determine if you are pregnant. The pregnancy test will measure the balance of these chemicals and gives you a reading. These tests however, can have altered results based upon when you take it. I believe the best time to take a pregnancy test is 4-6 weeks after fertilization[the point when the spem meets the egg]
