Urine pregnancy tests measure the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone produced during pregnancy. Timing with a missed period (if it is predictable) is best after the first day of your missed period, or 10 days after conception.

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.
