Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I can understand your concerns.
I have gone through your history and in my opinion the pregnancy happened before taking morning pill but before confirmation I want to ask a few questions from you.
What was your last period date?
What is your expected period date.
Dates of sexual interaction?
How soon you took morning pill?
Are you on any medication?
Any other symptoms?
Please revert back to me with my answers.

Brief Answer:
You are already pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
As your pregnancy test is positive 14 days after sex and it is showing you are 2-3 weeks pregnant it means you were already pregnant before taking morning pill.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
