Hello,
For pregnancy, first of all, HCG detection test done. Urine HCG card test will be positive 5 weeks after LMP if conception occurs. Blood HCG test can be positive 3 weeks after LMP if conception occurs. If you want to rule out pregnancy early then blood HCG testing can be done. If HCG raised than ultrasound examination done finally for pregnancy confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
