A member asked:

How early can you test blood hcg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About 10 days, but..: A pregnancy test done correctly should give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex or 1 week after missing a period. Done too soon, a negative pregnancy test might be a false negative. Generally, there is no need to test too soon.
