Brief Answer:
You conceived before 13th XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The test takes at least 10 days after the conception to be positive. It is likely that you were already pregnant before 13th XXXXXXX It is best to get an ultrasound scan done to calculate the date of conception more accurately.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
