Re: When is the earliest that a blood test can detect a pregnancy?
I think the earliest blood test you can take is right after your missed period.
The home tests are pretty accurate too.
As far as signs, they all vary from soar boobs, to itchy boobs on top of being totally exhausted and the nausea.
 congrats if you're pg.

Not sure about the blood test but i know one of my earliest signs was soar boobs. I NEVER get them with my period so i knew something was up. Also the implantation bleeding and i was SUPER tired all the time.
Congrats if your pregoo!

Re: When is the earliest that a blood test can detect a pregnancy?
About 10-14 days after ovulation.
So about 24-28 days after the first day of your last period.

Thanks, I was hoping that I could find out before I missed my period. I am very anxious to find out, to say the least 
I am only on CD 15 and only 5 DPO so I think I have to wait AT LEAST another 5-6 days to test.....

I do not know about hte blood test but I like the at home digital tests. I think they are very accurate and there is no discrepensy (sp?) about the lines. It says either pregnant or not pregnant.
I did not have any symptoms until a week after my missed period, by then I had already gotten my +. I had period like cramping and sore nips

Most digital tests aren't as sensitive as other tests and can give a false negative when used early.
Dollar tree tests rock!!! Got my BFP at 10DPO.
As for blood tests, they can be accurate right after implantation. But most doctors won't give it until you have a home test come out positive. I got my blood tests done before my missed period because I was going through chemo and they needed to know ASAP whether to stop.
