So, according to about 6 positive tests (taken at seperate times and days), being nauseas, and my boobs hurting... I'M PREGNANT! woohoo! But seriously? I my last period started 7/3 (TMI or are we all on the same wave length here?). Anyways, that would now make me like 2-1/2 weeks pregnant. I thought you couldn't tell until like 4 weeks, or a missed period. Is this too good to be true? I don't go to my doctor until mid August to get the certified "ok/no go". Am I forced to just paticiently wait for AF to never come in a week?

Re: really? 2-1/2 weeks? wtf
As far as the test goes, I got a BOLD + before I even finished peeing, lol. I was a little in shock. I only took the test because I didn't feel good and wasn't trying to reassure myself that I wasn't being a hypocondriac.
My period? Well... it was about 11 days early, but it was also my first one since getting off of bc, so I am not real sure on what I was to expect. I think it was pretty normal to the previous ones, but I've been on bc for 15 years, so don't have much to compare to.
If you are concerned there was a mistake you could always go to an urgent care and have them do a test there, they can do urine and or blood test (which are 100% correct). BFP are rarely wrong...esp 6 BFP! HPT usually don't pick up HCG in your urine until 10-12 days after conception so you are probably further along than you think you are. Good Luck!
A couple possibilities:
1) your "period" on 7/3 wasn't actually a period, but spotting, implantation bleeding, or a subchorionic hematoma
2) you ovulated extremely early in your cycle, maybe on CD3 or CD4
The fact that pregnancy starts on the first day of your last menstrual period can often mean that your dates seem a little strange - women who should be 10 weeks by LMP but are 8 weeks by ultrasound, for example. When you get your first ultrasound, that should clarify which of the above happened to you.
It's not necessarily that "science is weird and not exact" - science can explain quite well what's happening with your body actually!
ok, so looking at my actual calendar:
took last BC on 6/8, had tha period 6/11-6/14
Next period started 22 days later on 7/3 (my bad, I was counting the days between when my previous period stopped, not begun). That period lasted until 7/5 and then on 7/16 I took my first test.

With such a short period and such strong symptoms, I'm betting you are more pregnant than you think! The last "period" was probably just spotting.
If you go to the doctor they can tell you more accurately how pregnant you are, but you might want to wait a few days and re-test at home with a different test (maybe a different brand/new pack) to be sure before you go to the doc.
If you are pregnant though, congrats!

Congrats! A BFP is all the confirmation you need. Maybe your body is producing hcg at a higher rate than you would normally expect. Your dating seems accurate, but I would ask my Dr. for some help with dating the pregnancy if I were you. :-) Good luck
