QuestionIs it possible to get a positive pregnancy test only 2-3 days post conception? My LMP was 4/16 and my positive test was 5/17. I had three first trimester u/s. They measured 7w3d on 6/10, 10w3d on 07/01 and 11w4d on 07/08. Could I have conceived 5/14? My other conception possibilities align with the likely 5/1 ovulation date, but I'm worried that I'm wrong.
AnswerAccording to both your LMP and all three first trimester u/s, you definitely conceived in early May. If your two possible conception dates are May 1 and May 14, then you conceived May 1.
There is no possibility of a positive pregnancy test only 3 days after conception. Pregnancy tests measure levels of hCG, and hCG starts to be released when the embryo implants itself into the uterus at 6-10 days, so there is no way you would get a positive pregnancy test before then.
You definitely conceived May 1. There is no possibility that you conceived May 14.
I hope that sets your mind at ease!
Sincerely,
