A member asked:

Can you get a positive pregnancy test just 6 days after intercourse?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Unlikely: That would be highly unusual. Conception usually occurs one to five days after intercourse and then the fetus has to grow to a point where it is sharing blood with the mother's body.
