"If the result of your home pregnancy test is positive, then you must book an appointment with your healthcare provider to confirm pregnancy through a urine or blood test. Start with your prenatal supplements and practise a healthy lifestyle. "

It is possible to test positive at 3 weeks pregnant; however, testing for pregnancy at 3 weeks is too early, and the results are usually negative. This is mainly because hCG hormone levels are not produced in sufficient amounts, and the pregnancy test likely detects the same.
It is too early to feel pregnant at 2 weeks pregnant; however, you may experience mild cramps, bloating and other early pregnancy symptoms. You may experience these symptoms as ovulation and conception take place during the 2nd week of pregnancy.
