Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

A pregnancy test will turn positive about 2-3 weeks after conception. This is the earliest that it will reliably determine whether or not you are pregnant. Given that you are having left sided pain, you need to check a test NOW. If the test is positive, then you need to be seen immediately to rule out an ectopic pregnancy.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
