Depending on the length of your cycle (today is CD28 for you) you may get a positive result now. If your cycles are normally longer, like 30+ days, then you may have to wait another day or two to get a positive result if you are indeed pregnant.

Most sensitive pregnancy tests you buy in the stores can detect as early as 5 days before your missed period. Not every woman will produce enough hCG before the period is missed though, so a negative result may be produced even though you are pregnant.

Normal hCG levels for 3 weeks from LMP (last menstrual period) are between 5 - 50 mIU/ml, and for 4 weeks from LMP, between 5 - 426. So you can have low hCG, too low to be detected by a test yet, and still be pregnant with a healthy growing baby.

Is it possible for a pregnant women to vomit in the first week of pregnancy?

No. Pregnancy is calculated as 40 weeks or 10 months from your last monthly period. The average woman ovulates around day 14 of her cycle, so if she has sex and gets pregnant when she ovulates, she would not even know she was pregnant until she misses her period around day 28. So, this means that the first two weeks of a 40 week pregnancy, you are not actually pregnant. By the time you can confirm you are pregnant, it has been around 4 weeks from your last period (and two weeks from your ovulation date). Since you are not actually pregnant those weeks, there would be no pregnancy symptoms.


If you are on constant birth control and doesn't have periods for a few months at a time can it cause pregnancy symptoms?

You can have pregnancy symptoms before your period starts. People mistaken it for pregnancy a lot. They start to freak out and get stressed out and delay their period even more. Since you haven't had it in a few months, I would take a pregnancy test just to make sure you're not pregnant. And hope that once you confirm that you're not pregnant, you period will come.
