The tests available today can sometimes confirm a pregnancy as early as a week or so after having sex and getting pregnant. After 19 days like what you described in your case, the tests are very reliable at detecting pregnancy. So it is definitely possible that you had sex on the 1st, got pregnant, and then the urine test would be positive on the 19th.
