A member asked:

How fast-or how many days does it take for hcg to be produced for it to show up in a urine home pregnant test? would a day after intercourse be too soon?

At menses: Since most home urine pregnancy tests detect the HCG at levels above 25-30, and HCG levels are approximately 100 at the time of expected menses, a home test can usually detect a pregnancy 1-2 before expected menses. Blood tests are more sensitive detecting HCG levels above 5.
