i found out about a week ago that i am pregnant by taking a home pregnancy test i was sexually involved with my boyfriend on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and the 12th of may. i have been having a normal period that last 5 to 6 days sometimes 7. my period has been coming on on the 23rd almost every month except february it came on on the 18th i gues because its the shortest month of the year. when march came i was back at the 23rd and in april as well. my period was normal but in may a little before the 23rd i would experience the same symptoms i would when my period is about to come on back pain and stomach cramp but my period didnt come on so i waited two days later the day my period supose to come on to do a pregnancy test and it came back positive. either im in denial or is it possible for a pregnacy test to detect that you are pregnant in 2 weeks

Answer by Dr. Rajgopal, MBBS (doctor) on Sun 31, May 2009 11:27am:

Hi, Most home pregnancy tests that check urine beta-HCG are sensitive to 20-25 mIU/ml of HCG. The general rule-of thumb is to test at the time when you are a day late for your menses or about 15 days after ovulation. The test can be positive anywhere from about 2-3 days prior to a missed menses to 4-5 days after.Testing really does depend upon how regular your menses are or in other words how regular ovulation occurs.Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
