Can you explain how i can have a positive pregnancy test 5 days after intercourse and using morning after pill?

Dr. Justin Diedrich answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Already pregnant : Probably you were already pregnant. Otherwise the test couldn't be positive that quickly. The pregnancy has to be at least 2-3 weeks along for a normal home pregnancy test to be positive. Talk to your doc about your options or reply here.
