When Should A Pregnancy Test Be Done To Check The Status?
Question: I had my period from 26th to 31st November. can.I.really.pregnant ..test has two lines
Brief Answer:
If you performed your test correctly, you have a positive pregnancy test
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Modern pregnancy tests will become positive 10 days to 2 weeks after conception. Therefore, depending on when you last had unprotected intercourse, there is a real possibility that you are pregnant even if your past period started only three weeks ago.
The correct was to perform a pregnancy test is to check with your first morning urine and to throw out the test after you read it at the time written in the package directions.
However, a pregnancy test left out in the open after the time period that is recommended to read the test (it is written in the package directions- usually 5 minutes) can develop a second line that can be a false positive.
So, if there is any way that you performed the test incorrectly, I would recommend that you repeat the test tomorrow- but if not- you can trust that you are pregnant and the test is accurate.
I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that my advice was helpful. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
