Pregnancy test is positive but I noticed it too late

My friend took a test first thing in the morning, and the result came back positive. But because they were late to work, they only let me know 1-2 hours later. I heard they were thinking about what to do and are worried. I was also very surprised. I wonder if it can take that long to show up?

Did they notice this recently? Interesting.

How far past is the last menstrual date? Has she consulted a doctor?

They should take a test from the pharmacy and check again. The first test can sometimes yield a false positive.

My brother also didn’t notice for a week, but it became clear on the ultrasound after going to the doctor. Don’t panic.

@kahvebitmeden, the period is already delayed but it has been irregular. I’ve currently made an appointment with the doctor.

@yazipsildim saying the pharmacy isn’t a definite solution, they should directly check with an ultrasound. Don’t let your worries be for nothing.

The test has already come back positive; they’ll confirm it with an ultrasound, but the main issue is the weeks of pregnancy. You mentioned irregular periods, so it might have been noticed late. It’s important not to skip follow-ups in the first trimester, so make sure to ask the doctor about this part specifically.
