Question 1

my last period was at the beginning of january, i had sex two weeks ago and got a positive pregnancy test on tuesday. am i already a month pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Timing of pregnancy: interestingly, the first two weeks before a woman actually gets pregnant, That is, when her menstrual period starts, count towards the duration of the pregnancy. so if you conceived let's say two weeks ago you are considered four weeks pregnant. The best way to determi gestational age in early pregnancy is by way of transvaginal ultrasound.

Question 2

can a positive pregnancy test be wrong? i have 2 regular two line tests saying positive, and two digital tests saying negative. my period comes tomo.

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: Get a blood pregnancy to confirm this with your doctor.

Question 3

in march i had two faint positive pregnancy test.  a week later we got a negative. since then i've had my period with a couple hour breaks.  why?

Accepted Answer

Maybe : You may have had a very early miscarriage. We now know, since we have such sensitive pregnancy tests, that there are a lot more miscarriages than we knew about in the past. A lot of late periods it turns out are actually miscarriages. If you aren't having any problems, there is nothing that needs to be done at this point and there is no way to know for sure if this is what happened. Hope this help

Question 4

had two positive pregnancy test then got my period on the day it was set.im so confused.

Accepted Answer

Period: You may have just had an early termination. Wait and see if you have a normal period in a month .if not repeat your pregnancy test

Question 5

had sex a wk before period and got a positive pregnancy test 2 weeks after. is that possible? or could pregnancy hav happen before that intercourse?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: If already pregnant, that would mean the "period" was not a real menstrual period, because having a real menstrual period clears out the uterus... So having a real menstrual period means not pregnant at that time.

Question 6

received a positive pregnancy test 2 days after sex on 9/18/14. period was on 8/15/14.  was she already pregnant with a previous encounter?

Accepted Answer

Can't say: Cannot say. She should get a pelvic ultrasound to help with approximate dating of the pregnancy

Question 7

what to do about period + 5 positive pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

If it is an: actual period then you are not pregnant.  Did you read the tests at the correct time? - if you wait too long it can look like a positive. If you are not certain - your doctor can order a blood pregnancy test.

Question 8

what does it mean if u have a positive pregnancy test right after period?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant or LOSS: If a pregnancy test is positive is usually means you are pregnant or were pregnant. If you had significant bleeding then the odds of being pregnant are low but not zero.  You may have had an early miscarriage (which are very common)
but an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy is also a possiblity and needs to be considered .  Follow up pregnancy tests (bhcg quant) and/or ultrasound may be needed.

Question 9

18 days late for period, no positive pregnancy test from home, why is this? and what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Lots of reasons: There are lots of reasons why your period may be late.  Are you overweight?  If so, you may have stopped ovulating.  If you are not ovulating, you may have irregular bleeding over time.  Pregnancy tests can also remain negative, despite being pregnant, for quite some time.  If you don't have some bleeding within the next couple weeks, see your doctor.  Have them repeat a pregnancy test and try OCP

Question 10

i had a positive pregnancy test last week. judging by last period im five months along. however i dont really have any symptoms. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant ??: At five months of pregnancy, your pregnancy would be visually apparent, and other symptoms would be obvious.  If your periods were not "regular" (28-34 days apart) you cannot date the pregnancy by your last known period.  You should see an OB provider asap to get an ultrasound to properly date your pregnancy, as there are multiple things to be done to protect your baby.
