how long after insemination do you use a pregnancy test?

I just did artifical insemination tonight and was wondering how long should I wait to use a pregnancy test?  I have seen different times all over time internet: 7 days before my missed period, 3 days, 1 day, etc.

Man, i hope this insemination works.  I so want to be a mom.

it should be the same as ttc the "regular" way! So, depends on your particular test, and how your body produces hcg. Sorry. I know some people get positives as early as 9dpo, but usually it's closer to 12dpo. Good luck!

The longer you wait, the more accurate the test will be.  I would wait until the day you normally get your period.  Good luck!
