I have done research and seen that its okay to take a pregnancy test 7-10 days after you think you've conceived. any truth to this?

Yes but...: That would be stretching it, but day 10-12 after possible conception is a possibility. Best to wait and see if you miss your period. Good luck.

See below: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully
