A member asked:
Does the hcg hormone produce quicker/slower depending on age? for example: a teenage girl in early pregnancy, one who hasn't tested positive yet.

Pregnancy: Age does not affect the outcome of the HCG level .If you have a normal pregnancy it will double approximately every 48 hours. Positive test is around 10-15 days after conception ( just as an estimate).

Embryo: It is the embryo that makes HCG and it is not likely that the age or the women will make a difference. It takes about two weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. Please see your doctor if you are planning to be pregnant.
