A member asked:

I had intercourse with someone 5 days before i found out i was pregnant through a blood test could there be possibility that he is this babys father?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: It takes at least 10 days after a fruitful intercourse to have a positive pregnancy test. If your test was positive five days after sex, it is more than likely that you got pregnant from an earlier episode of sex.
