Is it possible for me to have gotten pregnant 5 days before i took a home test & it show positive ?

Pregnant earlier: It is very unlikely, and nearly physically impossible for a pregnancy test to be positive that soon. It is much more likely that you were pregnant before the sexual encounter five days before the test.
