when do most people find out they are pregnant

Most people find out they are pregnant around 4 to 6 weeks after their last menstrual period, which is about two weeks after ovulation and conception. This is generally when a home pregnancy test can accurately detect pregnancy by measuring the hormone hCG in urine. On average, the gestational age at pregnancy recognition is around 5.5 weeks, although a significant number of people may learn later, past 6 weeks, and some even after 12 weeks. Those with unintended pregnancies or who do not experience early symptoms might find out later than those actively trying to conceive or tracking ovulation closely.
