Can a blood test detect if your pregnant a week after a missed period ?
10 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes it can: If your menstrual cycles have been regular and normal, a blood betaHCG test can "detect if you are pregnant a week after a missed period." In some reliable labs, the test can be reported as positive 7 to 10 days after genito-sexual intercourse or after presumed fertilization.

Yes: 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.
