Wait: Hcg is not detectable reliably until around 10-12 days after ovulation, so wait a bit longer. There's craziness all over the internet about detecting HCG early, it's wrong.

I had implantation on the same day i had beta quantitative done 5/6 dpo, would there have been hCG detected? My level was <1.00.

Wouldn't intercourse, fertilization and implantation have to occur atleast 1-2 weeks before an hCG level of 634 can be reached?

Could hCG level of 634 occur within 3-4 days of intercourse? Fertilization and implantation would have to occur and wouldnt happen this fast, correct?

Is hCG produced at time of fertilization (when sperm meets egg) or only when implantation occurs?

My hCG level 23 DPO was 346 72 hours before that at 20dpo was 119. Suspected implantation 10 DPO are these #s to low?
