when can you test for pregnancy before missed period?

Accepted Answer

Some early: Pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy as early as six days prior to the missed period.

Question 5

ca you test for pregnancy eight days before your missed period?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Great majority of pregnancies occur when coitus takes places within the 3 day interval just prior to ovulation. The first hormonal evidence of implantation (appearance of hcg) ocurred on 8 to 10 days after ovulation. However some commercial urine tests only detect pregnancy 5 days before your missed period. However if negative and still suspect a pregnancy, consider doing a blood HCG level.
