Over-the-counter pregnancy tests (urine tests) detect HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine. The level of HCG in your urine has to be high enough to be detected by the test. Your body does not start producing this hormone until the embryo implants in the uterus, usually about two weeks after actual fertilization. So it's unlikely that you will get a positive result from a urine test earlier than three weeks into the pregnancy.
