Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Generally, urine pregnancy test can detect pregnancy 10 days after your missed period. You can also get tested by TVS (Transvaginal ultrasound scan) this can detect the gestational sac at about 5 weeks after last menstrual period.

Hope I have answered your question. Please feel free to ask any more queries. Thanks.
