How soon until I know if I'm pregnant?

My boyfriend and I have decided that we want to have a baby together. This will be my first child. We started trying on Saturday February 16th. He leave in about a week for work and will be gone for 8 months. My last period was on the 14th. How long should I wait to take a pregnancy test? What signs should I be looking for? What should I expect?

Thank you so much. Can you tell me what signs I should be looking for? And I plan on going to the Health Center here at my college to take a pregnancy test so when do you think should I do that because I've heard so many things. Like to wait 12-14 days and then I hear 15-20 days.

You can test around 5 days before your period, with first response. I am due for a period around feb 28, I prob will be testing around that time. If you have extra ovulation test, try testing with them around 9 dpo. I did with my son and my opks always were coming out positive and I was pregnant. We're about cycle buddies. I'm 4 dpo
