Dear Wazuans,
There is this friend of mine who is claiming to have tested +ve for pregnancy which is eight days now. how realistic is this? when is the earliest possible that one can test +ve?

Its possible to use chemical markers to assay for pregnancy. Ideally, most chemical tests for pregnancy look for the presence of the beta subunit of hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood or urine. This hormone can be detected in urine or blood after implantation, which occurs six to twelve days after fertilization.

Any question?

@ ocampo but am suprised how can someone know this early seven days to be precise 4me this beats logic. Is the process ur talking about sophisticated or a simple test for every tom & dic

....Is it lighting the airport or setting it on fire?

...the oooooh no should be if luci silly cant remember who is RESPONSIBLE one week ago

@ Robin am a socket, but i was like is this true coz i was thinking the fast s/one can detect the pregnancy is one month old.

must be a very sensitive pregnancy test kit that is able to detect such early pregnancy when hCG levels are about 10!!!!. the common tests kits are postive @ 50 to 100 mIU/hCG level.

@Luscily was silly enough not to insist on the use of sleeve,pole dear.
