Answer
If your last period started on November 22, you would have ovulated around December 5 and could have conceived if you had sex on December 4,5,6, or 7.  The earliest that a pregnancy test would show a positive result would have been 14-21 days after you conceived (19-26). If you took four home pregnancy tests arter December 19, and they were positive (bold, dark lines), you probably pregnant. You should make your first obstetrical appointment for 8 weeks from the first day of your last period (January 20). It is common to havae some staining on the toilet paper at this stage of pregnancy. There is nothing other than pregnancy that can give you a positive result on a pregnancy test as long as you performed it correctly and read it within a few minutes. Don't worry unless you start to bleed heavily.
