How Soon Can A Blood Test Detect Pregnancy?

I m 39, my periods have always been regular. My last one started on June 25th. Haven t had one since. Spotted on July 26th. Increased sex drive, Breast feel fuller, diarrhea after eating, tired all the time. I ve taken 3 hpt s all negative. The most recent one was yesterday. Never been pregnant before, so no idea if this is normal? How long should I wait before getting a blood test?

If the U.pregnancy test is negative there are very less chances of having pregnancy. Blood hCG test is more confirmatory than UPT. You can do the blood test any time after missed period. It is positive even before missed period.
