Do you have to wait untill your due on to do a pregnancy test?

No: Most over the counter urine tests are said to be accurate after a week of a missed period. Any sooner would need a blood test to be more accurate.

After missed period: 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
