Detecting pregnancy at 7 days is generally too early. Most home pregnancy tests and clinical tests can reliably detect pregnancy about 10-14 days after conception, when the hormone hCG levels become detectable. If you suspect you are pregnant, wait at least a week after a missed period to take a test for more accurate results.
