Can you detect pregnancy just after ovulation?

A pregnancy test is a method of detecting pregnancy by detecting hormone levels in the urine. The most commonly used test is a first-trimester serology test, which determines pregnancy by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the serum.

If you want to know if you're pregnant, it's best to take the test right after you miss her menstrual cycle. Missing a menstrual cycle usually means missing a chance to get pregnant, so if you want to confirm whether you are pregnant, it is best to take a test within 3-5 days after the missed menstrual cycle.

If she misses her menstrual cycle, or her cycle is very erratic, she may have to wait a while before her pregnancy is detected. Generally speaking, if she misses her menstrual cycle, she will need to wait 10-14 days before a pregnancy test can detect pregnancy.
