How Early Can Pregnancy Be Detected?

I have been sexually active 3 months now and had unprotected sex all those months. I missed my period this month.. It was meant to come on the 24th and now its the 26th.. I tested today but it was negative and i feel like it is too early. How long should i wait to test again?

Hi,

A urine pregnancy test detects a pregnancy as early as the first day of the missed period. It detects Beta HCG levels in urine which is secreted only when there are implantation and pregnancy. You are not pregnant for sure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
