Is 6 days before the HPT the only time you had sex? Implantation can
occur as early as 6 days post ovulation but it is less likely than a
couple days after that, around 8 days post ovulation. And you can get a
positive, albiet usually a light one, just after implantation. There
are cases of false positives but they are significantly less common than
false negatives. You are probably pregnant. Good luck. Not a doc.
Practices NFP.
