How many days after a missed period can you tell if you're pregnant?

In most cases, pregnancy can be confirmed 10–14 days after a missed period.

More information about pregnancy:

1. Often, a pregnancy test can show a positive result **from the very first day** of a missed period.
2. However, for a more accurate result, it's better to test **7–14 days after** the missed period.
3. During this time, hCG hormone levels rise in the body, which the pregnancy test detects.
4. A blood pregnancy test (Blood hCG) can detect pregnancy even earlier—**6–7 days after** the missed period.
5. Even if the test is negative, if your period still doesn't come, you should test again **after 3 days**.
