Yes: Most available urine pregnancy tests pick up as positive with an HCG of 15-25. The blood test is positive above 5. Hcg (human chorionic gonadotropin) is the hormone we measure in the pregnancy test. Progesterone which is secreted to support the pregnancy usually causes some of these symptoms.

Yes: You could easily begin to have symptoms of pregnancy by the time your period should be due.
