Who is your doctor? You should seek a 2nd opinion, as he obviously has no clue what he is talking about!
It only takes 10-14 days after conception for your body to produce enough hormones to register on a pregnancy test. This works out to be the same time your period would be due.
If your period should have been on February 23, you would be 6 1/2 weeks pregnant.
Unless, of course, you had your period on March 6th, in which case, you wouldn't even be ovulating until about March 20th and a test shouldn't be taken in that case until April 3. I'm going to assume your doctor thought your March 6-8 bleed was a 'period'.
