A positive pregnancy test 5 days after sex does that mean its wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It usually takes more like 10-14 days to develop a positive. However, maybe she is pregnant from last months cycle or if she had unprotected sex more than once that could also be a possibility. Always consider confirming with a blood pregnancy test as it is less likely to give you a false negative.
