How Many Days After Missed Period Can Period Pregnancy Test Be Positive? Pregnancy tests check if you blood or urine has the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone which is released after a fertilized egg is implanted on the wall of the uterus. This process takes six days after fertilization in most cases. The level of hCG continues to increase throughout pregnancy and doubles after 2-3 days. To get a positive pregnancy test, most women will have to wait 5-10 days after their period was due.
There are early detection pregnancy tests available that can confirm pregnancy as early as 6 - 8 days after conception has occurred (well before a missed period). Early pregnancy symptoms can sometimes happen before a missed period and before a positive pregnancy test. Especially the 3, 4, 5, and 6 weeks pregnant signs. Early pregnancy symptoms and signs are usually related to the pregnancy hormone hCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin which is responsible for pregnancy signs.
