Typically, a pregnancy test will not show positive results at just 7 days after conception. Home pregnancy tests generally detect the hormone hCG, which usually becomes detectable around 10-14 days after conception. If you suspect pregnancy, it's best to wait at least a couple of weeks after a missed period for the most accurate results.
