Most doctors recommend that you wait until the first day of your missed period before taking a urine pregnancy test. This is usually about two weeks after conception. However, some tests are more sensitive than others and can be taken earlier.
Both blood and urine pregnancy tests check for the presence of a chemical called human chorionic gonadotropin, which is produced during a pregnancy. Waiting two weeks post conception (one the first day of a missed period) is recommended, but positive results can be detected as early as one week after conception. After a pregnancy has been detected by a blood or urine test, your doctor will request an ultrasound to confirm that a live embryo is present. Ultrasounds can first be seen at five weeks pregnancy and an embryo and heart beat can be detected by six weeks.
