Yes, a pelvic exam can be wrong in determining early pregnancy. By 8 weeks, a blood test or home test can be done. Actually, earlier than that. At 8 weeks, the fetus is so small it can be missed by a doctor if they don't know to be looking for it. Sometimes even if they do know they're looking for it.
