Most of the pregnancy tests readily available over the counter are capable of producing 90 to 99% accurate results one week after your missed period. As the time progresses, the accuracy of these kits improves significantly. This is for the reason that the hormone hCG goes on doubling each 2 days throughout the initial days of your pregnancy. Hence, when you do a pregnancy test at a very early stage, it's likely to come negative. In that case, you need to repeat the test in several days time, so that the hCG levels rise sufficiently sufficient to be detected on the test kit. Also, make it a point to perform the test with the initial morning urine, since it's highly concentrated and has maximum level of hCG. Besides, it's also incredibly vital to follow the instructions mentioned on the package to the word. Most tests have an indicator for an invalid test, in the event you happen to mess up with the instructions.
