How many weeks when you first tested for pregnancy

Currently in a debate where I said 6 weeks is the average to find out you’re pregnant. Emphatically told it’s 4 weeks maybe 5 by baby daddy and that he’s done the research. Can’t add more options so feel free to add in comments

I thought I was 5 weeks when I tested and after the first ultrasound they pushed me back 3 weeks. So I found out at 2 weeks

I mean I tested at 8dpo so I was like 3.5 weeks for both pregnancies

It also depends how you count. Day one is the day you started your period so by 2 ish weeks is roughly when you ovulated give or take and then week 4 is roughly when your period would start again. So you could find out as early as like 3-4 weeks. Or 2 weeks if you’re counting from ovulation. And if you ovulated earlier then could be around 2 weeks from period but it’s usually like 3 weeks or later.

Or 8dpo I think is the earliest if you know exactly when you ovulated

I found out at like 4 weeks and by the time I got my ultrasound I was around like 8 weeks and a few days

I test the day after I expected my period.

Planned pregnancies are different from unplanned. Women find out about unplanned pregnancies usually closer to 6 weeks. For planned, often it’s closer to 4 weeks since women are testing even before their missed period.

I’ve always found out at 4, but my periods have always been pretty regular so maybe that can play a part, depending on someone’s cycle length

8 weeks to 12 weeks is the actual average on when a women finds out she’s pregnant when not actively trying to conceive But for trying to convince idk what the average looks like

If you count by your last period, you can test positive as early as what is considered 4 weeks (approx. D10po).

10 days (3 weeks from period)

I’ve been wondering about this as there’s been a lot of mention on the news about how “most women don’t even know they’re pregnant at 6 weeks” which confuses me as you’d be two weeks late by then! I get that some women have irregular cycles but that can’t account for the supposed majority, surely?

I think this really depends? If you are actively trying to get pregnant you're going to be checking and be more aware of the changes/signs and testing regularly and if not a lot of early pregnancy symptoms can be chalked up to getting ready for your period or just feeling a little off especially if you're not regular with your period - my first pregnancy I was around 5/6 weeks and didn't know until I went to A&E with stomach pains and was miscarrying

I've found out at 3 weeks before.

About a week before my period was due both times so like 3 weeks. I used super early tests, ours was planned though so I wasn’t waiting for a missed period.

I found out after 9 weeks

I should be 7 weeks along but my periods are irregular due to PCOS... I tested positive November 5th, and I got the implantation bleeding...but like my last last pregnancy (successful) I bled like a period for a week...and it's happening again...I plan on making an appt in the next couple of weeks to get checked (I have no ectopic pain) but my hormones cause me to bleed so am I really 7 weeks? Or am I 5? Lol It's stressful.
