How Long After Having Late Periods Can I Take A Pregnancy Test?
Question: Is it possible for 25miu urine test to test positive 8 days after conception? According to my doctor mine did, actually all 4 of my test came back positive I told her that I took the test 8 days later. So she thinks I may have ovulated earlier than we thought, she said 25miu urine test can't come back positive that early only blood test can?
Brief Answer:
Urine pregnancy test can't be positive so early.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your doctor is right.Urine pregnancy test can't be positive so early.
It generally take 6-7 days after implantation to become urine test positive.
Implantation generally occurs on average 9th day(range 6- 12 days)after ovulation.It means it can take at least 12 days after ovulation to become urine test positive.
So,you might had been ovulated earlier.
Hope I have answered your question.

Yes the reason for the confusing was because my conception date was XXXXXXX 25th I took test on Feb 2nd. That's 8 days I knew I was pregnant to when I took them and the next ultrasound they changed the date by a week I have no idea how it got that messed up

Ovulation time may vary even in ladies who have regular periods.It is difficult sometimes to calculate exactly.Sperms may be alive in female genital tract up to five days,this may also cause miscalculation.It may be related to earlier intercourse.
One week variation is normal in ultrasound in early days.
