Although the hCG level can be positive as soon as implantation takes place (around 5-7 days post conception), it is important that there can be some variability in early pregancy events. I would suggest that you obtain a serum hCG around the time of the first missed period.
Serum hCG done at the right time has a VERY LOW false positive and false negative rate.
