Pregnancy test question?

how long can you wait to take a pregnancy test?

Answer:
It depends on the brand. On the box the test will say the *earliest* you can take it for an accurate result...you can take it anytime after that. Usually it's within a few days of your missed period.
Wait until you have missed your period, then take it.
If you do not chart or monitor your fertility in any way, and you think you may have conceived, you should wait 19 days (or longer) after having sex to test. Why 19?! Sperm can live approximately 5 days in the proper environment; if the sperm managed to live until you popped an egg, the actual conception could have taken place several days after the sex act that got the sperm there. To make sure you're not testing too early, assume the sperm had very long lives (5 days is considered a very long sperm life) and that conception occurred then. Then allow 14 days for the embryo to implant and develop enough hCG to show up on a pregnancy test (96% of pregnant women will test positive by then.)

Wait until the first day of your missed period. Some home pregnancy tests claim that you can take the test up to 5 days before your missed period, but it is far less accurate when you test that early.
Go to a chemist and have a look at the different test you can buy. Some of them you can do before you are due for your period.
It's recommended that you wait two weeks after you have sex to take a pregnancy test. It's believe the hormone is at a high enough level to show on the test then. In some cases it doesn't so up then and some it shows up sooner. It'll show up in a blood test by two weeks though. You should stop doing anything that is a no-no during pregnancy like drinking, until you take a test and know for sure. Technically I don't know if you ever have to take a test, though you'll have to go to a doctor if you think your pregnant and depending on how far along you'd be, I don't know if you'd be made to take a pregnancy test, at least in the traditional sense.
When your about a week late. If you test too early, it'll be negative.
You should take a pregnancy test after your missed your period because before that the test results might not be right
The first day of your missed period. OR they have some, where you can test 5 days before your missed period. I think its First Response. Good Luck
I'm not sure I understand your question. If you're asking how long it takes for the hormones to be throughout your body in order for the test to pick it up, I think it takes about seven days.

The reason I say this is I am on the Deppo shot and if I miss my shot, I have to wait seven days to get my shot, just in case I am pregnant, then they give me a preganancy test to see if I am.

I hope that was what you were looking for!
wait until you have missed your period
