How far along to do you have to be in a pregnancy to actually know you are?
For a pregnancy test to become positive, the fertilized egg has to first implant into the uterus and then send enough amounts of the pregnancy hormone into your blood stream to create a positive pregnancy test. Implantation happens about a week after ovulation and it takes another 3-4 days after implantation for the blood pregnancy test to first become positive.

About Pregnancy Test
A pregnancy test is a convenient and accurate way to see if someone is pregnant. At-home tests are performed by the woman urinating on the stick, which intern determines if the hormone (HCG) is present. If HCG is detected, then the pregnancy test will reveal it either by a color change, or digitally depending on the type of test. Most tests are accurate 99% to 100% of the time, but there are still conditions which can produce a false negative.
