How far along pregnancy test?

I just took a pregnancy test, and it came back positive! I'm trying to figure out how many weeks along I might be. How far along does a pregnancy test typically indicate you are?

Honestly, regular home test kits only tell you if you are pregnant or not, they won't tell you the weeks. I spent three sleepless nights trying to read those lines! If you want to know the weeks, you need a digital test or a proper dating scan.

I just did this last month. A basic urine test can show positive as early as 10-14 days after conception, but it won't show how far along you are. You should count from the first day of your last period to get the actual week.

Most cheap urine tests don't show the week. Buy a digital pregnancy test that explicitly shows the 'weeks estimator' on the screen, or just get a beta hCG blood test done at a lab. It's much faster and more accurate.

In our days, we waited for two missed cycles before visiting the doctor. Now you have these plastic strips that show positive early on. Drink warm coconut water and consult a good family doctor to find the exact weeks.

I kept taking multiple tests because I was so anxious about whether the line was getting darker or not. But these basic kits can't tell you how far along you are, they just detect the hormone. Please get a blood test done to calm your mind.

Standard tests won't tell you the gestation weeks. If you want to know exactly how far along you are, book an early dating ultrasound at 6 or 7 weeks. That is the only foolproof way to get your accurate due date.
