It would all depend on when your body ovulates. if you had ovulated at that time then it would be possible for a pregnancy test to show that you are pregnant. Some test are more sensitive than others and will show up earlier than some others.

It's actually not me. I have no doubt of the actual intercourse taking place, just suspicious if it's his. It seems to early to tell at 2 weeks. I thought the urine tests had to be at least 3 weeks. It happened once and he's been on prednisone for a long time and 2 other gout medications that I was under the impression could lower sperm count. Also she may or may not have been seeing someone else just before. Just all seems to convenient and quick.
