Is It Possible To Detect Pregnancy In 15 Days?
If I had sex on the 15th with my boyfriend and we didn t use protection, can I take a pregnancy test today and it show positive? I was really sick today with bad cramps in my lower stomach so I decided to take the test and it showed positive. Can this be possible?

Hi,
I understand your concern
It is possible to diagnose pregnancy nearing expected day of menstrual periods ( about 15-16 days of sex), by blood HCG testing. But it's possible to note pregnancy by home pregnancy test of urine, only after 8 days delay in periods.
The urine pregnancy test can be +ve due to error/ contaminated urine sample only.
So pl. get blood testing done / repeat urine test after 8 days overdue period.
Thanks.
