How Early Can I Test Positive For Pregnancy?
I have a 27 days cycle and had my last period on 26th Sep. Since last 3-4 days I have been experiencing discomfort, tiredness and lethargy beginning from the morning which goes on till late afternoon. I suspect if i am pregnant at all I must have conceived on 6th oct due to lack of protection. Is there any possibility of getting a positive result as early as this through a home pregnancy test?

Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
Pregnancy generally occurs on having sexual contact during the unsafe period of menstrual cycle. It takes about 15-20 days after that for the hCG levels to increase to an optimum limit after which pregnancy tests come positive. So get a pregnancy test done according to this calculation and optimum results can come.
Hope this was useful.
