~ 10-19 days: Pregnancy test (blood) usually become positive 4-5 days after the fetus attachment to the uterus (to connect with the mother’s blood system, happens in 6-12 days after ovulation and fertilization). Also the urine test is positive about 2-3 days after the blood test.

After missing period: A urine pregnancy test done correctly will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (or when conception might have happened) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon, and therefore lead to a repeat test. If a woman has her normal regular period, then she is not pregnant, and the test is not needed yet.

Miss period: If your next period doesn't start on time, check a home pregnancy test. Good luck!
