HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Pregnancy tests look for the HCG hormone. The levels of this hormone increase as pregnancy progresses.
Pregnancy tests can normally detect this hormone by 11 to 14 days after conception. There are some tests that can detect pregnancy earlier because they pick up lower levels.
If the test was done at the appropriate time, it is likely accurate. You can consider repeating if you wish to recheck.
I hope this helps
