With over the counter pregnancy tests, you have to wait until you have missed your period. Care Net offers a free ten minute pregnancy test that can detect the presence of hCG, the hormone that indicates pregnancy, 3-4 days after implantation of the fertilized egg (test should be done 10 days or more after intimate relations). Pregnancy begins when the male's sperm fertilizes or joins with the female's ovum (egg). The average duration of pregnancy is 38-42 weeks and is divided into 3 trimesters: 1 day-12 weeks; 13-26 weeks; and 26 weeks-birth. For more information about pregnancy, visit the American Pregnancy Association. You might be pregnant if: You have missed one or more menstrual periods Your breasts are swollen and/or tender You are nauseated or have had a change in appetite You are tired or dizzy You have to urinate more often You have recently gained or lost weight
