No: Pregnancy tests measure HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) which is produced from the placenta. It typically peaks at 8-11 weeks gestation, but remains elevated during the entire pregnancy.

It's never TOO late: But by now you should be able to discern whether you are pregnant or not. The hpt will still be accurate even this long after possible conception.
