Brief Answer:
You can test right away.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

In the current scenario, you can get a pregnancy test right away.

You can go for the urine test with a fresh early morning sample. Else, you can get the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titers for a better clarification.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.
