Question

Doctor did blood test at 8 days past sex? (6-8 dpo)

Today I went to my doctor because I have really bad thrush. I told her that on August 23rd I had unprotected sex and the guy ejaculated in me. I got a positive OPK on Monday the 25th and a negative OPK on the 26th. She took my blood to test for pregnancy because the medicine she wants to prescribe me for thrush is category D. I'm not sure if I can even get a positive blood test at this point and I'm scared if it's too early and it's negative and I start taking the medication that I could later find out I am pregnant and it could hurt the baby. I don't know what to do! Could a blood test come back positive this early on?

I would think that at 6-8 dpo that implantation wouldn't have occurred, would have just occurred or haven't occurred for long. I know that hcg is produced until it implants so that would be concerning to me. I understand the dilemma and am not sure what to do. I've never had thrush so I don't know how that is. Did the blood test she took test the exact amount of hcg in your body. Anything 5 or under is not pregnant but a lot have none.

You know your circumstances better than your doctor or even the test results. I'd give it a few days before starting the meds if you know you dtd around your time of ov. Though rare, it can take as many as 12 days past fertilization to implant.
