Is It Possible To Detect The Pregnancy Within 4 Days After Intercourse?

My girlfriend and I had sex, with a condom, Friday the 8th and she is telling me that her doctor, and a gyn, said she is detecting as pregnant when she had blood work on Tuesday. I have read a lot before due to a past relationship where we were planning to and I constantly read that it takes at least 7 days to have a small chance of being detected but could be a false positive. She is also stating that her gyn says he can "detect and see" the eggs that are forming which I am almost positive isn't possible but I am not a MD or skilled in the field. Is this even possible? I want to know because she is trying to pressure me into taking care of her and being with her. The issue is, we broke it off that Monday due to indifferences that have been going on for a while.

Please help.

Hi,

For a pregnancy to appear on ultrasound it takes 2 weeks after the date of the missed period. For a blood pregnancy test to appear positive it takes a few days after the date of the missed period.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
