Just Out of Curiostity...

How soon can you get a blood test done? I've posted a few times here about my situation and i've been told to wait 3 weeks after the day I think I may have conceived. Also....Since its possible to still be pregnant and get a negative on a home pregnancy test...Is it possible to get a positive and not be pregnant? I wouldn't think so because of the pregnancy hormone thats required to make it positive, but its just a question.

You can get a blood test as early as 7 days after conception. However it is more accuate to wait at least 2 weeks. It is possible but *exteremly* rare to get a false positive. Generally if a later tests shows up that you are not pregnant, chances are that you had a missed miscarriage and didn't know it. Also with some tests if you let it set for longer than 24 hrs the results are no longer accurate and may show two lines! But like I said it almost never happens!!

Much love
