I would like to know this too!
BUMP
hmm me 3!!! anyone know??
i am pretty sure your body always has hcg in it but when u become prego it rises.. but thats all i no... has to produce it quick if you can get a positive test 5 days before missed AF..
well i googled it and according to the internet, hcg is not produced until implantation occurs.... but I would like some verification also....
i googled it as well and its says that about 2 day minimum after implantation it should be enofe to test but im not to sure if that is right
yes, once the egg implants (5-10 days after conception) your body will start to produce the hormone. Some where between 2(very very early) to 5 days after implantation you will be able to test and get a positive. Now, just from experience here. I got the very beginning on implantation bleeding on Monday 10/6 around 1pm. By 3:30 pm I was crying in the car listening to music. So you may not be able to test that early but it can mess with your emotions very very early.
if conception happened for me yesterday, i would be 10dpo.... so perhaps this weekend I'll test.... I'd like to know NOW though... haha... as would anybody in the 2ww...
I read on webmd it can actually take up to 6 days after implantation for it to show for a blood test. So I can imagine it would take a bit longer for a hpt.
