A member asked:
Is it true that small traces of hcg are produced after fertilization? could a pregnant test pick this up, or only after implantation?

Possibly: Hcg is produced after fertilization. There is a "threshold" where a pregnancy test becomes positive. Most pregnancy tests state that they can be used right around the time of your missed period. To avoid any confusion or disappointment, it's best to wait at least that long.
