The earliest I have seen is 5 days. According to the ClearBlue pregnancy test accuracy results they are: 4 days before expected period= 51% accurate
3 days before expected period= 82% accurate
2 days before expected period= 90% accurate
1 day before expected period =95% accurate
the day of expected period =99% accurate
Sperm has nothing to do with a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test is done by a woman to find out if she is pregnant or not. She pees on it and it detects the pregnancy hormone.
Your urine, or your blood.
A urine pregnancy test detects hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin.
they are great at detecting pregnancy early
Yes. Home pregnancy tests actually give accurate results in the first trimester, some as early as the first few weeks of pregnancy.
Tampons do not alter the accuracy of a pregnancy test. The test detects a chemical in urine that isn't changed by tampon use.
you need to wait until you atleast miss one period
A doctor's pregnancy test is much more accurate, where as a home pregnancy test can be faulty.
A home pregnancy test is most likely to be accurate if it is positive meaning if you had a negative test you should be monitoring if you could be pregnant. You could have taken the home test too early to detect pregnancy. The best thing to do is to go to the doctor and get a test done there to rule out pregnancy.
It's unlikely. The pregnancy hormone, hcg, doubles every 24-48 hours in pregnancy, and by the time of your expected period there is enough hormone to register even on an unsensitive home pregnancy test. If you ovulated late, however, it could be too early to test and you could be pregnant. If you are concerned, try a First Response HPT, it detects 6.5 miu of hcg, which is the lowest on the market (a woman is considered pregnant at 5 miu of hcg).
Yes. In a phantom pregnancy, the body is tricked into feeling like it is pregnant. Consequently the same hormones present in a real pregnancy will be present in the body of someone who is undergoing a phantom pregnancy, and these hormones are what a pregnancy test detects.
Yes. You should wait around 14 to 16 days after sex to take a home pregnancy test.
