We just started trying this month and im already checking and overthinking everything haha. Is it even possible to get pregnant this fast or does it usually take longer? Curious how soon it happened for you.
If you happen to be intimate during your fertile window, fertilization can technically occur within that week. But a test wont turn positive in just a week, you need to wait till around your missed period. The apps make this timeline easier to follow.
Conception itself can happen within a day or two of intercourse around ovulation, but you wont know that fast. My doctor said it takes time for hcg to rise enough to show on a test, usually a couple of weeks. So timing the act is one thing, confirming is another.
I had the same question when we started, I thought I could test super early. Turns out you have to wait a bit for it to show. The replies here are helping me understand, thanks for asking.
