What Causes Delay In Menstruation After Intercourse?
Question: on the 9th of January i had unprotected sex. My period was supposed to start on the 12th and i has not come yet. i had my blood drawn today and the doctor said im pregnant. I just want to know if thats true. How can you tell so soon
Brief Answer:
It takes a week to become positive.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If your beta HCG levels were found to be raised on 14th then you conceived before 7th XXXXXXX It takes at least 7-10 days after conception for the blood levels to rise. It is likely that you are not pregnant from 9th January episode.
The HCG levels will give you a rough idea regarding the weeks of pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Can be false positive.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
It can be a false positive test also. It is rare to get a positive test so early. You can get the test repeated after 48 hours and see if the levels are increasing.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
