The best time to take the test is after you miss your first period. If you take a home pregnancy test too soon, the amount of hCG hormone in your body may not be high enough for the test to show you are pregnant. This hormone level doubles almost every two days at the start of a pregnancy, and usually home tests can’t detect it until after your regular menstrual cycle is late.
