You should start to test for pregnancy the week after your missed period. This is when you’re most likely to obtain an accurate result. If you don’t want to wait until then, consider waiting 1-2 weeks after having sex. This is because, if you’re pregnant, time needs to pass before the body develops a level of Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) a test can pick up.
