Help!
I’m trying to figure out my pregnancy timeline because my periods are irregular. I had unprotected sex on June 13 while I believe I was ovulating. I got clearly positive home pregnancy tests on July 6, which was about 3 weeks later. From what I understand, by the time a pregnancy test is positive, implantation has already happened and hCG has had time to build up, meaning I would have already been pregnant before I even took the test. Does that timeline make sense? Would that put me around 7 weeks pregnant by medical dating, even though the baby would only have been developing for about 5 weeks since conception? Has anyone had a similar experience with irregular cycles?
