Period: Doubt pregnancy if periods are normal in timing and duration. Home pregnancy test can help as to timing usually related to periods stopping so now ok.

One week : Your hormone level start elevating after you conceive. A week after your flow is overdue is a good time to check. The levels will be high enough to be detected on the home pregnancy test. Blood work is more sensitive and that can be detected a week after you have conceived.
