A couple of days after your missed period should be when you take the pregnancy test. It is most accurate and if you take it anytime before then your reading could be wrong.

If you don't have your period that month, take a pregnancy test quick to find out if you are. If it comes out that you're not pregnant, then your period may be just a little late! Good luck!

Your period is the first day of your cycle. Typically, you ovulate (release an egg) 14 days after your cycle started, or 2 weeks after your period started. At this time, conception occurs, but it still takes about 5-12 days for the fertilized egg to make the journey to your uterus and implant. Only THEN does your body even begin to know that it's pregnant. The earliest pregnancy tests, such as EPT or First Response Early Detection, can detect your pregnancy as soon as 3-4 days before your missed period is due, which is a few days after implantation. These, however, claim that they are 99% accurate, but they are not. The footnote says "99% accurate in detecting NORMAL pregnancy hormone levels." This means that while the test CAN detect pregnancy, a negative is not definite. The most accurate time to get a test is at least 2 weeks after you've missed a period. If there is still no hint of a line at this time, you're probably not pregnant. Every woman builds her HcG (human chorionic gonadatropine) pregnancy levels at a different rate.
In summary, don't test until you miss your period. These tests are expensive and not reliable enough that soon!

The last time I took a pregnancy test, the general advice was to wait until your period was at least two weeks overdue. Of course, over-the-counter tests have probably improved. I think the best thing to do is go to the drugstore and read the back of the boxes.
If you take a test too quickly, it could come out as negative even if you are really pregnant. This is because your body won't have produced enough of the 'pregnancy hormone' to register on a test.
Generally, any test needs to be taken after you've missed a period. Keep in mind that stress can make a period late.
Also keep in mind that using two forms of protection can really lower your stress, as well as chances of getting pregnant or contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

I'm not sure exactly when but it SHOULD say on the back of the box...

I say when you start vomiting, and then when your stomach starts to bubble out.
