Is my sister pregnant

I have a very young sister. She had sex with her boyfriend on the 8th. She used a condom but no other form of protection. On the 10th she started her period. She usually has it for 7 full days. She only had it for three days with only bleeding on the first and spotting on the last two. She has had nausea now for two weeks every single day. Do you think she is pregnant? She will have to wait a while for a pregnancy test to show up. Does anyone know how pregnant you have to be for a blood test to show up? I know your chances of getting pregnant using a condom is slim but fertility runs in my family. I conceived both of my two children on the first try!

I do know that the HCG levels that are detected by the HPT are different from those in the blood, the HCG levels can be detected first in the blood before the urine. Couldn't hurt to have a blood test done, some women might have pregnancy sysmptoms and not be, it's happened to me a few times. The doctor said that it could have been because I was so focused on the fact that IU might have been that my body started to manifest the sysmptoms.
