Amber, I'm sure she meant six weeks after your last period, since that seems to be the longest time you go between periods. As far as being pregnant but losing it with your first period -- yes, it's possible for the egg to be fertilized but to not implant; is that what you are asking? And home pregnancy tests are set up to detect HCG, which is a hormone present during pregnancy. If you test positive, it means the test has detected some HCG, and usually this is right around the time of a missed period. Does that help?
