When can I take a pregnancy test? Posted: 02-13-07 20:07pm
Is 5 days after conception too early for
the early home pregnancy test to have a
positive result?
I had sex on Feb 9th and am thinking of
using the early home pregnancy test from
First Response and Clear Blue tomorrow
(Feb 14th). Is it possible to get a
positive pregnancy result?
Thanks.

5 days after a possible conception is too
early to take a pregnancy test. You need
at least 10 days to pass after possible
conception for a pregnancy test to show a
positive result. 10 days is the period
need for the fertilized egg-cell to become
implanted into the uterus. A HPT pregnancy
test becomes positive after implantation.
