I know I have to wait until my missed period, and something in me tells me I am pregnant, but why is there no way to know until you miss your period? We know that the egg implants about a week before you miss so why haven't we come up with a way to tell sooner? Stronger tests or something?

Hi Sylvia,
The simple answer is that it takes time for hCG to develop, which we use to determine if you are pregnant or not. The problem with the home tests is that they are OFTEN not done under ideal conditions. HCG can be detected earlier but few people want to head to the doctors office a week or so after having sex for a blood test.
Cost versus benefit.
