Can't wait?: The pregnancy test may be positive a few days before your expected period, but if you are patient, if your period starts you probably aren't pregnant.

! to 2 weeks: Pregnancy tests check the HCG in blood or urine and by 7days you have enough HCG to be able to detect this using a home pregnancy test kit depending on it,s calibration
