How many days post ovulation can you test for pregnancy?

:light_bulb: Rule / Guideline:
A pregnancy test can reliably detect the pregnancy hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) starting about 10 to 14 days after ovulation, which generally corresponds to the time of a missed period.

:brain: Explanation:

  • After ovulation, it takes time for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus, which triggers the production of hCG.
  • The level of hCG hormone becomes detectable in urine roughly 10 to 14 days post ovulation (DPO).
  • Some sensitive pregnancy tests might detect hCG as early as 8 to 10 days DPO, but testing too early can result in false negatives because the hormone level may still be too low.

:light_bulb: Pro Tip: For the most accurate result, it is best to wait until the day of your expected period or later to take a pregnancy test.
