This hormone can be detected on the second or third week after conception. Pregnancy tests for home use do not provide absolutely reliable answer. To test was more accurate, use the morning urine (hCG best it is detected), carefully following the instructions, and then perform the test the next morning and after one week (unless you have not started periods).
