Pregnancy tests typically detect the hormone hCG, which usually becomes detectable in urine about 10 days after conception. Testing at 1 week post-conception might be too early for accurate results. For more reliable results, it's recommended to wait until after a missed period, about 10-14 days after conception. Early detection tests are available, but their accuracy at such an early stage may still be limited.
