pregnant after 5 days ?
Posted: 07-21-08 18:51pm

Its now 6 days after i had unprotected sex yesturday i took a home pregnancy test and it was positive. The ONLY encounter i had was 5 days before the test. Now the father says it cannot be his because it wouldnt of shown up so soon after..hes convinced that i would of had to be pregnant a couple of weeks. I have not been with anyone in about 8 months, I am just as confused as he is if someone could she d some light on this situation i would appreciate it. Is there some type of imformation he can read that would let him know that it cant be immpossible to show up this soon because it did.

It is not impossible but it is rare. I had a positive test within 3 weeks after conceiving my son but with my daughter it was 6 days after having a condom break. DH was out to sea but when he came home we had sex and the condom broke. I take a pregnancy test according to a missed period, meaning if I miss a period, I take a test. So, three days after our sexual encounter with the weak condom, Aunt Flo was supposed to come knocking. She never arrived. Thinking her plane might be delayed, I waited it out for two more days. Well, still no arrival. So three days after my missed period, six days after the encounter, I took a test. And sure enough, it was positive. I took another test two weeks later, just to make sure I was not seeing an evap line or anything. Still positive. So yes it can happen but it is very rare and should be considered a false positive until you retest a few weeks later. Also, some hormonal conditions and tumors can cause false positives. So test in a few weeks.
