Is It Normal Not To Get A Positive Test Until 9 Weeks?

I have always had irregular cycles so it is difficult to determine what is normal for me, however, today I got my first positive pregnancy test. Now, according to the math based on my last period date, I am 9 weeks. Is it normal to not get a positive test until 9 weeks?

hi, it is unlikely not to get a positive test till so long. but in your case it could be that you could have conceived late. so we will not calculate your estimated date of delivery from your last menstrual period but from your first trimester ultrasound . don't worry it is a fairly comin occurrence. take care and all the best .
