Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have one through your query. Home pregnancy test is sensitive 14 to 21 days after your ovulation date. As you have a 28 days cycle your ovulation dates will be most likely 14 day or 15 th day of cycle. So after 15th of XXXXXXX you can get a sensitive result. But still false negative is more common in these date. After 1 more week you may get an accurate result. Also do it on early morning urine.
If you are going for blood pregnancy test then it is sensitive after 6 to 8 days from ovulation. That one you are sensitive now. For this you have to go to doctors office or laboratory.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
