When should I take a home pregnancy test? Many home pregnancy tests claim to be accurate as early as the first day of a missed period â or even before. You're likely to get more accurate results, however, if you wait until after the first day of your missed period or, better yet, one week after your missed period. Why wait?
If you use a home pregnancy test too early in your pregnancy, you may not have enough of the pregnancy hormone hCG in your urine to have a positive test result. Most HPTs will be accurate if you test yourself around the time your period is due (about 2 weeks after you ovulate, or release an egg from your ovary).
