A member asked:
Your body only starts to create hcg after implantation occurs correct? why am i being told an hpt can be + 4-7 days post conception?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too early: Implantation will occur about 6-10 days post ovulation. HCG is made only after implantation. Any testing for HCG done prior to 10 days after ovulation or conception is a waste of effort and money. Best to wait until at least missing your period to get a solid result.
