How Early Can Pregnancy Be Confirmed?

Hi! My period was due 8/9/17 and it was over 2 weeks late. It got it 8/25/17. It lasted about 5 days like normal. It was clearly late due to stress and a vacation we took. But has never ever been more than 1 week late before. Anyway I know when I ovulate every month. And I just ovulated 9/7/17. So about 10 days after my period ended. My husband and I had sex the night I was ovulating. My question is when will I get my period or if I get it.. and could possibly become pregnant? When can I take a test? Thanks!!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello there. I have read through your question and would like to tell you that if you have conceived ,the urine pregnancy test usually comes positive 7 to 10 days after the missed period. Though it may vary depending on the Hcg levels. The blood HCG test comes positive one week earlier. So you should get tested around one week after your missed period. If you have not conceived you should get your periods on the usual date if your cycle is regular.
