Detecting pregnancy at 1 or 2 weeks can be challenging as most traditional tests won't show a positive result until around the time of your missed period. However, some early signs can include mild cramping, spotting (implantation bleeding), and increased fatigue. For a reliable confirmation, consider waiting until you've missed your period to take a test, as hormone levels will be higher, offering a more accurate result.
