How soon will a pregnancy test detect pregnancy?
There are two kinds of pregnancy tests: urine tests and blood tests. Urine tests are available without a prescription at the drug store, or you can visit your health care provider or birth control clinic. The results of urine tests are available within a few minutes and can detect a pregnancy very early (at about the time you would normally get a period). For a blood test, you must go to a doctor or clinic. It usually takes 24 hours to get the result of the blood test.
